Can you help? My Dewsbury solicitor is advising me that he has toorder Dewsbury conveyancing searches resulting from the fact thatthe firm are on the Nat Westsolicitor panel. Do I not have a choice here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a lender your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Dewsbury conveyancing searches.
I just bought a flat at auction in Dewsbury. Conveyancing is required. What is next?
Given that you are now exchanged you now have to hire the services of a conveyancing practitioner as a matter of urgency as you will have a fast approaching a fixed date to complete the deal. An auction property will ordinarily have a bespoke legal set of papers. This will include most,if not all of the documents that your lawyer will need. If you have purchased leasehold property the auction papers may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to a leasehold property.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Principality are being a right pain. The Dewsbury solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Dewsbury I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Dewsbury in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the agent has warned us that the seller will only issue a contract if we appoint their preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Dewsbury
It is improbable the owners are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Dewsbury conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
