I am hoping to receive a offer of a home loan from Halifax. I would like to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Gateshead. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Gateshead is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Gateshead are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Gateshead you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gateshead may determine 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 property.
I'm converting the mortgage on my current property to a buy to let mortgage with Lloyds TSB Bank and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on further house. The area we are talking about is Gateshead. Will your solicitors be able to act for both sets of banks and tie in the transactions?
Make use of our comparison tool on this site to be sure that the lawyers are approved by both lenders. Having checked that they are the solicitor should be able to connect the two conveyancing matters but you should have a chat with you solicitor and specify your desired outcome and needs.
What makes a Gateshead lease unmortgageable?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Gateshead. All leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain sections are not included. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the building Insurance obligations
A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Lloyds TSB Bank, Leeds Building Society, and Nottingham Building Society all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to withdraw.
I invested in buying a garden flat in Gateshead, conveyancing having been completed May 1996. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Gateshead with a long lease are worth £207,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 invoiced every year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2083
With 57 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £28,500 and £33,000 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first getting professional advice.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Gateshead. I need to find out if they are listed on the lender's conveyancing panel. Can you help?
It’s a good idea contact the solicitor to enquire if they are on the bank's panel. If that does not help get in touch with us and we can make some checks for you. If they are not on the bank panel we can certainly arrange a quality conveyancing solicitor in Gateshead on the panel for your mortgage company.
