Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gilberdyke

I sincerely hope you can help me. My Gilberdyke lawyer is advising me that he is legally obliged toapply for Gilberdyke conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Nat Westapproved lawyer panel. Is my lawyer correct?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a bank your solicitor has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Gilberdyke conveyancing searches.

My wife and I are selling our home in Gilberdyke and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Gilberdyke lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Gilberdyke. Having lived in Gilberdyke for three years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)

I own a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Gilberdyke. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Aldermore. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Gilberdyke and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

How does conveyancing in Gilberdyke differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Gilberdyke contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Gilberdyke tend to buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Gilberdyke or who has acted in the same development.

I have been recommended by a number of selling agents in Gilberdyke to find a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers rather than a competitor’s?

We don’t make any commission for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

Should I stop my mortgage payments with HSBC as soon as a completion date for my sale in Gilberdyke has been agreed?

You are best advised to keep meeting any mortgage payments to HSBC pending the mortgage being discharged on completion as part of your Gilberdyke conveyancing.
