My mortgage broker requires my Harehills law firm’s panel reference for the Nat West conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have e-mailed my local Harehills branch but they don't know it.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Harehills solicitor . Most Harehills conveyancing practices will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
I own a freehold residence in Harehills yet invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Harehills and has limited impact for conveyancing in Harehills but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Previous rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be dispensed with completely.
My stepmother advised me that in purchasing a property in Harehills there could be a number of restrictions prohibiting external alterations to the property. Is this right?
There are a number of properties in Harehills which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to carry out external variations. Part of the conveyancing in Harehills should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
We are purchasing a end of terrace house in Harehills. We would like to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal due diligence on the property include enquiries to determine if these works are allowed?
Your solicitor will review the registered title as conveyancing in Harehills will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain alterations or need the consent of another owner. Certain additions require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

Last July I purchased a leasehold flat in Harehills. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
