It has taken forever and a day but a loan offer from HSBC for the remortgage of my 3 bedroom maisonette is expected imminently. Can you recommend a cheap conveyancing solicitor in Birkenshaw?

Our Birkenshaw conveyancer has spotted an inconsistency when comparing the information in the valuation survey and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor says that he needs to check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s approach right?
Your property lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
As someone with no idea as to conveyancing in Birkenshaw what is the number one tip you can give me for the legal transfer of property in Birkenshaw
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Birkenshaw or throughout West Yorkshire is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, property agent and even potentially a mortgage company. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Birkenshaw should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the transaction whose responsibility is to act in your best interests and to protect you.
There is a definite creep in the "blame" culture- someone must be at fault for the process taking so long. You your first instinct should be to trust your lawyer ahead of all other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in Birkenshaw. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the invoice as usual as all ground rent and service invoices should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I purchased a 1st floor flat in Birkenshaw, conveyancing having been completed in 1997. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Birkenshaw with over 90 years remaining are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2100
You have 74 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
