Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Copmanthorpe

I am due to move house in August. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Copmanthorpe. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this site.

On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your selling agent but this should only occur when the vendors conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Copmanthorpe or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Copmanthorpe.

The mortgage over my property is with Leeds Building Society for my property in Copmanthorpe. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. Should I wish 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?

Leeds Building Society must be informed of your intention prior to 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 allow you to rent 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. You need not do this via a Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel lawyer.

I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Copmanthorpe agreed to, the vendors do nevertheless have a tied purchase. The owners have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Copmanthorpe. What should be my next step? When do I get the mortgage application with Co-operative started?

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Copmanthorpe conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your lawyer is on the Co-operative approved list. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many home buyers will apply for a home loan with Co-operative and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to proceed with searches.

A relative suggested that where I am buying in Copmanthorpe I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

This is a search is occasionally quoted for as part of the standard Copmanthorpe conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing significant information about Copmanthorpe around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Copmanthorpe Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data regarding Copmanthorpe.

It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Copmanthorpe concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Copmanthorpe before appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to give a mortgage on such a house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Copmanthorpe. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Copmanthorpe especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Copmanthorpe.
