Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Hebden Bridge. What is the rationale as to why all Hebden Bridge conveyancing practitioners aren't automatically on all mortgage company panels?

A decade ago most banks exhibited an approach to risk which is different than today. The financial regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the property lawyers on your panel. Consequently, banks have since looked to extract more information from law firms regarding their operations and the staff employed by them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Thousands of law practices have been excluded from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to satisfy the minimum amount of transactions the lenders set.

Every auction property should have a bespoke auction pack. This will likely include most,if not all of the paperwork that your solicitor requires.

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Hebden Bridge building society branch on various occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they will lend. My Hebden Bridge conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?

As long as the lawyer is on the lender panel, she or he must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I am selling my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in March 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Nationwide are being pedantic. The Hebden Bridge solicitor who is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Nationwide are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Nationwide have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Nationwide have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Nationwide may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for obstruction in Hebden Bridge house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Hebden Bridge.

How does conveyancing in Hebden Bridge differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Hebden Bridge contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Hebden Bridge tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Hebden Bridge or who has acted in the same development.
