Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Horsforth

We are looking to buy a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Horsforth who is on the RBS approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for RBS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Horsforth.

I have a decision in principle. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Horsforth?

You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors should you want the "fee-free" incentive. Call the mortgage company and check if they allow a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Horsforth.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Horsforth?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Horsforth. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

How does conveyancing in Horsforth differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Horsforth contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Horsforth typically buy the land, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Horsforth or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Horsforth is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in Horsforth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Horsforth you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Horsforth may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

To what extent are Horsforth conveyancing solicitors under an obligation to the Law Society to publish clear conveyancing figures?

Contained within the Solicitors Code of Conduct are prescriptive rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their fees to clients.The Law Society have practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not to be interpreted as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, however, represent the Law Society’s perspective of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Horsforth or or elsewhere in the country.
