I'm the only recipient of my late mum's will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in North Baddesley. The North Baddesley property was put into my name in November. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', meaning my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in November. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ 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 may be caught by that. Most banks would take a practical view as this requirement is primarily there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
I am due to exchange contracts on my house. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Nationwide are being difficult. The North Baddesley solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Nationwide are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
