Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Elland or throughout West Yorkshire is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the seller, property agent and sometimes your bank. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Elland is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.

There is a distinct emergence in the "blame" culture- someone has to be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you must always trust your conveyancer ahead of the other players when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

What will a local search reveal concerning the house we're buying in Elland?

Elland conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for instance Xpress Legal The local search plays an important part in many a Elland conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any unpleasant surprises after you move into your property. The search will reveal data on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 topic areas.

I bought my flat on 6 August and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Elland expressed confidence that it will be registered in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Elland uniquely lengthy to register?

As far as conveyancing in Elland registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any third parties. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not typically top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Elland is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Elland are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Elland you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Elland may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
