We had chosen solicitors located in Hampden Pk on the Leeds Building Society solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental amount for dealing with the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Leeds Building Society?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Leeds Building Society but by your Hampden Pk conveyancing practitioner. Numerous firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.
I am buying a property in Hampden Pk. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. RBS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is RBS your lawyer must follow the formal requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for RBS. The CML Handbook contains minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to RBS where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Hampden Pk.
Me and my brother have a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Hampden Pk. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Barnsley Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review 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 Hampden Pk and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Hampden Pk is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Hampden Pk are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hampden Pk you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hampden Pk 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 residence.
My fiance and I may need to rent out our Hampden Pk basement flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Hampden Pk conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Even though your last Hampden Pk conveyancing lawyer is not available you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain permission via your landlord or some other party before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior permission. Such consent must not not be unreasonably withheld. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
