The vendors of the house we are looking to purchase have instructed a conveyancing solicitor in Finningley who has recommended a preliminary agreement with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Are such agreements sensible?

This kind of contract isn't common in Finningley, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from the primary focus, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. Secondly, there is no guarantee that just because the vendor has executed an exclusivity contract they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they receive a large enough offer to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged establish consequential losses from the breach and this may not compare to the financial upside that your seller may obtain by breaching the contract, no matter how morally shameful that may be.

I am selling my house in Finningley. Will my lawyer have to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.

I understand that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to have this when purchasing a house in Finningley? or I am told that there is an ancient law that could mean that homeowners residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to pay for repairs towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this applicable for conveyancing in Finningley?

Unless a previous acquisition of the house completed after 12 October 2013 you may expect lawyers delivering conveyancing in Finningley to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

I'm buying a new build house in Finningley benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it could adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Finningley I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Finningley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
