Does the land have to be in my name for full pp?

lollymob

Sorry this may seem like a silly question. I have a site I wish to build on in the near future. The site is not in my name yet, it belongs to a family member. Does the site have to be transferred to my name before I apply for planning permission or can this be done after?

Thanks in advance for any replies.

you simply need a letter from the owner stating they give consent for your to apply for PP

This is true, I've gotten permission with such a letter for my site.

So would I be right in saying that I need the land transferred to my name before applying for the mortgage?

Thanks for your help.

To have any hope of using it as collateral, yes.

The transfer of site will have to be lodged in Land Registry where a Dealing number is issued. This no. is your place in the queue at Land Registry as it may take months and usually suffices for Mortgage.

you can apply for a morgage with out it being in ur name but u cannot and will not be let draw down any money till that is in ur name. this is fact as iv been there before. you can apply for the planning even if its in someone elses name...........you actually dont legually need permission for this from the land owner but it is better to do so because it will assure the council they will not be involved in conflict

Thanks for all the replies! Does anyone know how long the process with solicitors will take? Are we talking weeks/months?

I take it you are just talking about for your planning application at this stage? That being the case you'll probably find your county council have a pro-forma letter that you ask the land owner to sign without the need of going to a solicitor. Otherwise your architect/ planning advisor should have one that you can get signed.

To be honest - how long is a piece of string...

WE are currently transferring a site - building work has started. Our solicitor is currently waiting for a bank (coincidence our mortgage bank) to release some charges that affected part of the site from 20 years ago previous solicitor was a bit lax - there is no issue with it but the bank is just really slow to clear the charge...

In relation to the mortgage our bank were happy with a letter from solicitor stating the transfer was in the process as the idea of waiting for the transfer to complete - well from what I've heard land registry can take months...
