Me and my partner are due to complete on the purchase of a property in Great Coates but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the seller in the sum of £3k by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement however Yorkshire BS are not allowing this. Why were they approached?
The property lawyer that is on the Yorkshire BS approved list is duty bound to disclose to Yorkshire BS of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to report the reduction to Yorkshire BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Yorkshire BS and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Great Coates.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Great Coates. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Great Coates
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please supply a car parking plan. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Great Coates from the point of view of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Great Coates can be bypassed where you instruct lawyers as soon as your agents start advertising the property and ask them to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ representatives. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to verify this by asking your lawyers. A buyer’s conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the remaining number of years is less than 80 years. It is therefore important at an early stage that you consider whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Great Coates leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord approving such works. If you dont have the approvals in place you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor first. The majority of freeholders or Management Companies in Great Coates charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should find out the actual amount of the charges. The management pack can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Great Coates. If you have had any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a property where there is a current dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as historic rather than unresolved.
