I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to leave my rented flat in Harehills by 20/11/2025. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in three weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?
Generally one should not serve notice for your lease unless your lawyer suggests that you should. If you have not previously done so, notify to your lawyer and ask them to they seek the assistance the other solicitors, try to an acceptable time-line that everyone will look to achieve
What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Harehills
It would be unwise to be seduced by the cheapest Harehills conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
Does a directory service exist listing Bank of Ireland panel solicitors in Harehills on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such facility on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of mortgage companies make their panel listings open the public over the internet. Where you are in need of a Harehills conveyancer on the Bank of Ireland please use our tool.
The mortgage over my property is with Barclays for my property in Harehills. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Barclays?
Barclays must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Barclays’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Barclays will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Barclays directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Barclays conveyancing panel firm.
My wife and I own a semi-detached Georgian property in Harehills. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Leeds Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
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 Harehills and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
I am buying a new build house in Harehills with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The property agent suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about this extras as it would affect my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. Is this normal?.
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.
