My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Beverley. I need to find out if they are on the Virgin Money approved list of lawyers. Could you advise?
The first thing you should do is phone the lawyer and enquire whether they can act for the bank. Otherwise you should get in touch with Virgin Money who may be able to confirm.
I have been told that property searches are the main reason for delay in Beverley conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Beverley.

Last September I purchased a leasehold property in Beverley. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I inherited a ground floor flat in Beverley, conveyancing formalities finalised April 1996. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding flats in Beverley with over 90 years remaining are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2090
You have 64 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £15,200 and £17,600 plus legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
I purchased a flat in Beverley last 8/11/2024 and to date it is still not registered with HMLR. It is part of a new estate and my solicitor told me that it may take twelve months to register. I have contacted the Land Registry directly and they have informed me the initial application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. What can I do?
It is your property lawyer that you must contact in order to satisfy any questions which have been raised as part of the registration process for your Beverley property. Normal Beverley conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the seller's solicitor that they will assist in resolving any requirements raised by HMLR so it may be a case of taking action to enforce that undertaking in some way.
