Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Beverley

Will lawyers ask for money up-front when it comes to conveyancing in Beverley?

Where you are retaining lawyers for conveyancing in Beverley your solicitor will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Generally this is called for to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches. When the deposit is payable against the sale price then this should be asked for immediately prior to exchange of contracts. The closing balance that is needed should be transferred a few days prior to the completion date.

The Beverley conveyancing firm that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Beverley have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I had to have a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel and my family Beverley lawyer was not. I paid them 275 plus VAT on account. What do I do now?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know straight away so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Barclays conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers may be able to help.

I am assisting my niece sell her house in Beverley. Does the solicitor commission an EPC or it is for the owner to see to?

After the demise of Home Packs, energy assessments was retained a mandatory component of moving property. An energy assessment needs to be commissioned before the property is put on the market. This is not something that solicitors ordinarily organise. If you are using a Beverley conveyancing solicitor they might help arrange energy assessments given their relationships with long established Beverley assessors

I have paid off my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Beverley conveyancer on the TSB panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your TSB 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 TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your TSB mortgage has been paid off.

I can not work out if my lender requires a lease extension. I have called my Beverley bank branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Beverley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

Your conveyancing practitioner must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two specifications for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

I require quick conveyancing in Beverley as I am faced with pressure to exchange contracts inside one month. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?

As you are are a cash purchaser you are at liberty not to have searches carried out although no conveyancer would suggest that you don't. With plenty of history conveyancing in Beverley the following are examples of what can arise and adversely affect the marketability of the property: Refused Planning Applications, Overdue Charges, Outstanding Grants, Railway Schemes,...

I'm buying my first flat in Beverley with a loan from TSB. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not to tell my solicitor about this deal as it would impact my mortgage with TSB. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Beverley I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Beverley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
