Is it necessary during the course of the conveyancing process to attend the offices of the solicitor to execute the mortgage deed? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Dewsbury so that I can pop in to their offices if necessary.
Whereas this was necessary 12 years ago, the vast majority banks no longer oblige their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the mortgagors signature. It will still be necessary for you to supply identification documents and there are still distinct advantages to using a local practitioner, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Dewsbury.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Dewsbury. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Dewsbury
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Dewsbury I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Dewsbury for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

As co-executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a property in Monmouth but I am based in Dewsbury. My conveyancer (based 235 miles awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec prior to completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Dewsbury to attest this legal document for me?
strictly speaking you should not be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are based in Dewsbury
My partner and I may need to let out our Dewsbury ground floor flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Dewsbury conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Dewsbury conveyancing lawyer is not around you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to seek permission from your landlord or some other party before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without prior consent. The consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
