I am soon to complete on the purchase of a house in Liversedge but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the seller of £2k in the form of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet Yorkshire BS will not agree to this. Why were they notified?
The property lawyer being on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is required to inform Yorkshire BS of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your solicitor to notify the price change to Yorkshire BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Yorkshire BS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Liversedge.
It is a dozen years since I acquired my property in Liversedge. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I can't find the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Liversedge relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your home is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

The mortgage over my property is with Virgin Money for my property in Liversedge. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Virgin Money?
Virgin Money must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent 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 Virgin Money directly. You need not do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor.
