I am acquiring residence in Eden Park. My Conveyancer has never been on on the mortgage company solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to retain my Eden Park conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options include
- Proceed with your chosen Eden Park conveyancing practitioner but your bank will need to use a property lawyer on their approved panel. This will result in additional cost and likely interruption.
- Appoint a fresh solicitor to conduct the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Appeal to your conveyancer to apply to join the bank panel
I am soon to exchange buying a house in Eden Park but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the current proprietors of three thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Barclays will not agree to this. Should they have been notified?
The solicitor being on the Barclays approved list is duty bound to disclose to Barclays of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to Barclays then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Barclays and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Eden Park.
I am helping my sister sell her house in Eden Park. Does the solicitor commission an EPC or should I organise this?
Following the abolition of HIPs, energy performance certificates was left as a compulsory element of moving property. An energy assessment should be commissioned before the property is placed on the market. This is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers normally organise. If you are using a Eden Park conveyancing solicitor they may be able to arrange energy assessments given their contacts with long established local energy assessors
Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Eden Park. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?
Given that you have now exchanged you will need to choose a conveyancing lawyer as a matter of urgency as you now have a tight a fixed date to complete the purchase. All auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding legal set of papers. This should include the copy title deeds, local authority and drainage searches. If you have purchased leasehold property the auction papers should provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork specific to leasehold premises. You must give this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity.

We had instructed conveyancing lawyers with offices in Eden Park on the Yorkshire BS solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me a further amount for dealing with the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Yorkshire BS?
Unfortunately, as long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Yorkshire BS but by your Eden Park lawyer. Numerous firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will quote ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Eden Park I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Eden Park for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the price 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 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
