We are due to move home in April. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Hackenthorpe. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across this page.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your estate agent but this can only occur when the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Hackenthorpe or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Hackenthorpe.
We had instructed conveyancers based in Hackenthorpe on the Aldermore solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional charge for handling the Aldermore mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Aldermore?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Aldermore but by your Hackenthorpe conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Aldermore panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
I am purchasing a property in Hackenthorpe. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Yorkshire BS be concerned?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Yorkshire BS your lawyer must follow the formal requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease does not satisfy these conditions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not restricted to Hackenthorpe.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Hackenthorpe is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Hackenthorpe are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hackenthorpe you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hackenthorpe may decide 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.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent told us that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Hackenthorpe
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Hackenthorpe conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
What makes a Hackenthorpe lease unacceptable for security purposes?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Hackenthorpe. All leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can result in certain provisions are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Repairing obligations to or maintain elements of the building Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Santander, Bank of Scotland, and Clydesdale all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
