My home in Kirkwhelpington is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will the conveyancer have to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently currently.
I have been told that property searches are the number one cause of delay in Kirkwhelpington conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Kirkwhelpington.
I am purchasing a new build house in Kirkwhelpington benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my conveyancer about the deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with Yorkshire Building Society. 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 UK Finance website. UK Finance 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.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agency in Kirkwhelpington where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales put at risk due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Kirkwhelpington conveyancing firms. Could you confirm whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
I purchased a 1 bedroom flat in Kirkwhelpington, conveyancing formalities finalised March 2009. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Similar properties in Kirkwhelpington with a long lease are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease terminates on 21st October 2091
With only 65 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
