I'm the single recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Tavistock. The Tavistock property was put into my name in September. I want to move. I understand that there is a CML six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in September. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The CML handbook requires solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. Most mortgage companies would take a sensible view as this provision is chiefly there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.
Is it the case that all Tavistock CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel?
It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to remain on their approved list of firms.
Intending to buy a apartment in Tavistock. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Tavistock solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
three months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Tavistock took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
