We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Yorkshire BS as we intend to conduct renovations to our house in Blakelaw. Do we need to select a local Blakelaw solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

Yorkshire BS do not ordinarily instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Yorkshire BS panel.

The mortgage over my property is with Leeds Building Society for my property in Blakelaw. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Leeds Building Society?

You must advise Leeds Building Society before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Leeds Building Society’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Leeds Building Society directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel solicitor.

I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Blakelaw bank branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Blakelaw conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their specific requirements. I simply don't know who is right.

Provided that the conveyancer is on the mortgage company approved list, they must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

What does a local search tell me about the house I am buying in Blakelaw?

Blakelaw conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company for example PSG The local search plays an important part in most Blakelaw conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any nasty once you have moved into your new home. The search should reveal information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen subject sections.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Blakelaw?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Blakelaw. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I am buying a new build house in Blakelaw with a mortgage from HSBC Bank. The developers would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it will affect my loan with HSBC Bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
