Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Leyburn

My husband and I are looking to purchase a house in Leyburn and have instructed a Leyburn conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our solicitor has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with a view to exchanging next week. Alliance & Leicester have this evening contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Leyburn solicitor is not on their approved list of lawyers. Is this a problem?

Where you are buying a property needing a mortgage it is standard for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Leyburn lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

I am acquiring a property without a mortgage in Leyburn. I have been living for the last Seventeen years in Leyburn. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I have knowledge of the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a home loan, then the vast majority of the Leyburn conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your conveyancer will try and sway you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches done, but she has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. Do bear in mind; if you are intend to sell the house in the future, it will be of importance to your future buyer what the searches disclose. There are plenty of instances where houses with day to day issues can still reveal detrimental search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Leyburn will provide you some practical advice in this regard.

Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Leyburn. My lender is Tesco Bank

Tesco Bank have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 13/2/2026, the requirements read as follows :

I am downsizing from our property in Leyburn and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Leyburn conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Leyburn. We have lived in Leyburn for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
