I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must be out of my let out flat in Holly Village by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is progressing. How realistic is it to complete in six weeks as don't want to have to move into temporary accommodation?

My fiance and I are purchasing a 3 bedroom apartment in Holly Village with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society.We like our Holly Village conveyancing lawyer but Yorkshire Building Society says she’s not listed on their "panel". It seems we are left with no choice but to instruct a Yorkshire Building Society panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will be on the Yorkshire Building Society approved list. Until recently, most banks 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 Yorkshire Building Society

Do you have any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Holly Village with the purpose of saving time on the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Holly Village can be bypassed where you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ lawyers.
  • If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should ensure that you hold the original share certificate. Arranging a replacement share certificate is often a lengthy formality and slows down many a Holly Village conveyancing transaction. Where a new share certificate is required, do contact the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this as soon as possible. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to present the dispute as historic as opposed to ongoing. Many freeholders or managing agents in Holly Village charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the actual amount of the charges. The management information sought on or before finding a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Holly Village.
