My partner and I have recently bought a property in Elland. We have noticed several issues with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the nature of searches that needed to have been carried out as part of conveyancing in Elland?

It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Elland. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated as part of the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor completes a questionnaire known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information turns out to be inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Elland.

I am looking to buy a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Elland who is on the National Westminster Bank approved. Can you recommend a local solicitor?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for National Westminster Bank in certain locations such as Elland. We dont recommend any particular firm.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Elland I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Elland suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

Should I be suspicious about 3rd parties that I am dealing with are recommending a national conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Elland conveyancing firm?

As is the case with lots of service providers, often recommendations from connections can be worth their weight in gold. But there are many parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may suggest solicitors to appoint. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there might be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are free to appoint your own conveyancer. Don't forget that many lenders specify a panel list of solicitors you must use for the lender related work in your home move.

What are the common deficiencies that you see in leases for Elland properties?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Elland. Most leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain sections are erroneous. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Insurance obligations Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts.

You will have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Santander, The Royal Bank of Scotland, and Alliance & Leicester all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.

    Best to be warned if a new roof is being installed or some other significant cost is anticipated to be shared by the leasehold owners and will dramatically increase the the maintenance fees or necessitate a one time invoice. This information is useful as a) areas may result in problems for the block as the common areas may start to deteriorate where maintenance remain unpaid b) if the leaseholders have a dispute with the running of the building you will wish to know about it On the whole the outlay for major works tend not to be incorporated into the service charges, although there some managing agents in Elland require leasehold owners to pay into a reserve fund created for the specific intention of building a fund for larger repairs or maintenance.
