My fiance and I decided to purchase a newbuild apartment in Harehills with a residential mortgage from Coventry Building Society.We have a Harehills conveyancing lawyer but Coventry Building Society advised that his firm is not on their approved list of member firms. It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Coventry Building Society panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Coventry Building Society panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Coventry Building Society use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Coventry Building Society approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Coventry Building Society
Me and my partner are purchasing a apartment in Harehills. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to put money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
I am planning to move property in March. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Harehills. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your estate agent however this should only take place after the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you should inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Harehills or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Harehills.
Are all Harehills Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to remain on their panels.
Have completed on a a detached house in Harehills , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Harehills conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the registration is concluded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Harehills registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Harehills with a mortgage from Barclays . The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
