When will exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Beverley and am I required to attend the solicitors office?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Beverley you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the property agreement is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Beverley)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
My uncle pointed out to me me that in purchasing a property in Beverley there may be various restrictions preventing external changes to the property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Beverley which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Beverley should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Beverley. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Yorkshire BS are being difficult. The Beverley solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Yorkshire BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Beverley is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Beverley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Beverley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Beverley may determine 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.
Am I better off to instruct a Beverley conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can execute the conveyancing but they are based 200miles away.
The benefit of a high street Beverley conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute documents, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Beverley know how is a bonus. However nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and on the whole were impressed that must outweigh using an unknown Beverley conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
