I have just been advised by my financial adviser that my Bedale property lawyer is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be sure if this is correct?
Your first step should be to call your Bedale lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you of the situation. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Bedale conveyancing firm that is on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
I am helping my aunt sell her flat in Bedale. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission an energy assessment or should I organise this?
After the abolition of Home Packs, EPC’s was left as a required component of moving house. An energy performance certificate needs to be to hand in advance of the property being put on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors normally arrange. Where you are using a Bedale conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with reputable local providers
We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from Leeds Building Society as we wish to carry out alterations to our property in Bedale. Do we need to appoint a bricks and mortar Bedale solicitor on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Leeds Building Society do not ordinarily require firms on their conveyancing panel to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Leeds Building Society list.
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Bedale. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the RBS 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 Bedale lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Bedale is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Bedale are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bedale you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bedale may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Taking into account that I will soon part with 450k on a terraced house in Bedale I wish to have a conversation with the solicitor concerning theconveyancing before giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

In the event that it has you must advise them of the new contact details and ensure the loan are re-sent.

Partway through the sale of a leasehold flat in Bedale. Conveyancing lawyers are doing their job but we are being charged an extortionate amount from the freeholder. To date we have forked out £295.50 for a leasehold management information and then a further £117.20 for supplemental queries raised by the buyers solicitor.
You will not have control over the extent of the fee for this information however the average fee for the information for Bedale leasehold property is £360. For Bedale conveyancing transactions it is conventional for the seller to cover the charges. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions although many will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices disproportionate to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no statute that mandates capped charges for administrative tasks. There is no set time frame by which they are obliged to issue answers.
