Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Liskeard

It is is a decade since I acquired my home in Liskeard. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to locate the title deeds. Will this cause complications?

Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Liskeard involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

I happen to be the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will and I have everything in my name alone, including the my former home in Liskeard. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in December. I plan to dispose of the property. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in December. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

The CML handbook instructs conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you might be impacted by that. many mortgage companies would take a practical view as this requirement is chiefly there to identify subsales or the quick reselling of property.

Is it correct that all Liskeard CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?

Some major lenders now make use of CQS as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives 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 solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of firms.

When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Liskeard what are the most frequent lease defects?

Leasehold conveyancing in Liskeard is not unique. All leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. Insurance obligations

You will have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Barclays , Virgin Money, and Clydesdale all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the purchaser to pull out.
