As someone unfamiliar with the Dunnington conveyancing process what is your top tip you can impart concerning the ownership transfer in Dunnington

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Dunnington and elsewhere in North Yorkshire is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For example, the seller, selling agent and even potentially a bank. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Dunnington should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.

Every so often a third party with a vested interest will attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

My partner and I are downsizing from our house in Dunnington and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem.

Having lived in Dunnington for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything.

The house builders rep advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it will affect my mortgage with Clydesdale. 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.

Your lease governs the relationship between the landlord and you the flat owner; specifically, it will say if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Dunnington do not contain an absolute prevention of subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.

Comparable properties in Dunnington with a long lease are worth £260,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease ends on 21st October 2100

With just 75 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
