I am the sole recipient of my late grandmother’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Blythe Bridge. The Blythe Bridge property was put into my name in June. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Is the property unsalable for six months?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ 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 caught by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the lender as this obligation is primarily there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
I have paid off my mortgage with Clydesdale. I assume I don't need a Blythe Bridge conveyancing practitioner on the Clydesdale panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Clydesdale mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Clydesdale mortgage from the register. Clydesdale, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Clydesdale has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Clydesdale has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Should my conveyancer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Blythe Bridge.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Blythe Bridge. There are those who buy a house in Blythe Bridge, completely expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

The conventional set of completed inquiry forms supplied to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the seller to find out if the property has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred and is not disclosed by the seller, then a buyer may bring a legal claim for losses as a result of such an incorrect reply. The purchaser’s lawyers should also carry out an environmental search. This will disclose if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be made.
2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Blythe Bridge completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.
