Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Driffield. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Driffield?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you will be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

How can we tell if a Driffield conveyancing solicitor on the Clydesdale panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Driffield seeking recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor handling your conveyancing.

We were going to get a AIP from Coventry BS this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Coventry BS recommend any Driffield solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Driffield solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.

I have been told that property searches are a common cause of stalling in Driffield house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Driffield.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Driffield?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Driffield. 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 apartment in Driffield. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Driffield

    Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply a car parking plan.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Driffield I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Driffield for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
