Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Leyburn. Is there a reason why all Leyburn conveyancers aren't automatically on all bank panels?

As inequitable as it may appear for lenders to limit who can act for them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s point of view, the the contrary view is that mortgage companies are increasingly anxious and feel it crucial to protect them from illegal activities. As a consequence of this concern banks are limiting their conveyancing panel to a size that they are happy to control.

I have a mortgage with UBS for my property in Leyburn. Conveyancing has been completed 12 months ago. If I am intending to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform UBS?

Your original mortgage agreement with UBS will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact UBS directly. You need not do this via a UBS conveyancing panel solicitor.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Leyburn registration formalities.

Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property so an expedited registration is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Leyburn is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Leyburn are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Leyburn you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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 residence.
