Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Garforth

Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Garforth. I would like to know the logic why all Garforth lawyers are not on all lender panels?

Even though it may seem unfair for mortgage companies to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s point of view, the other side of the coin is that lending institutions are increasingly anxious and regard it necessary to protect them from mortgage fraud. As a consequence of this concern lenders have restricted their conveyancing panel to a manageable size.

What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Garforth? Why is this being asked of me?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing instruction. The Client Care letter that you are required to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be viewed. Where you are unwilling to supply ID verification documents, your solicitor can not take you on as a client.

Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that could impact a commercial premises in Garforth?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Garforth will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Garforth. The search result sets out definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Garforth.

Have purchased a a terraced house in Garforth , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Garforth conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the registration is addressed.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Garforth registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration takes place once the new owner is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Garforth benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not disclose to my solicitor about the extras as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

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.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Garforth prior to retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some banks tend not grant a loan on a flying freehold house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions from Nationwide. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Garforth. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Garforth to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
