Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Clayton-le-Moors

My father pointed out to me me that in purchasing a property in Clayton-le-Moors there could be various restrictions prohibiting external changes to a property. Is this right?

We are aware of a number of properties in Clayton-le-Moors which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Clayton-le-Moors should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

I am being advised by my conveyancer that lack of building regulations insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Clayton-le-Moors?

The appropriate level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.

is it true that all Clayton-le-Moors solicitor practices on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?

As solicitors, in order to be on the Coventry BS approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. The majority of lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the main cause of hinderance in Clayton-le-Moors conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

Me and my brother have a renovated Georgian house in Clayton-le-Moors. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Bank of Ireland. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Clayton-le-Moors and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.

I am purchasing my first flat in Clayton-le-Moors with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my lawyer about the extras as it could affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.

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.

I'm remortgaging my primary property to a buy to let loan with Barnsley Building Society and intend to use the remaining equity towards a second house.

Do use our comparison tool on this page to check that the conveyancers are on the appropriate lender panels. Having checked that they are your lawyer should be able to simultaneously deal with the two conveyancing matters but you should have a chat with you solicitor and make clear your desired outcome and requirements.
