Finally the sale completed on my house in East Yorkshire last June but our buyer keeps SMS messaging me to say their conveyancer needs to hear from myconveyancer. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Following your sale your solicitor is committed to send the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Where relevant, your conveyancer should also evidence that the home loan has been discharged to the purchasers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures just for conveyancing in East Yorkshire.
How can we know in advance if a East Yorkshire conveyancing solicitor on the Kent Reliance panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in East Yorkshire obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. 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 advertising the lowest fees. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor handling your transaction.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in East Yorkshire. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
About to purchase house in East Yorkshire. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the East Yorkshire lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
I am purchasing my first flat in East Yorkshire benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my lawyer about this deal as it would affect my loan with National Westminster Bank. 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in East Yorkshire I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in East Yorkshire 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 mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business premises in East Yorkshire and how can you help?
The 1954 Act gives security of tenure to business tenants, granting the right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. East Yorkshire is one of our hundreds of locations in which our lawyers are based
