My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Malton. I need to find out if they are accepted on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Could you advise?
You should e-mail your lawyer and ask them if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you can get in touch with Clydesdale who may be able to assist.
We are aiming to move house in March. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Malton. Conveyancing solicitor was organised prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your selling agent but this should only be done when the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be handed over. After that you should advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Malton or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Malton.
I have paid off my mortgage with Lloyds. I assume I don't need a Malton conveyancing practitioner on the Lloyds panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Lloyds mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Lloyds mortgage from the register. Lloyds, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Lloyds has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Lloyds has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The mortgage over my property is with Co-operative for my property in Malton. Conveyancing was finalised some time ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Co-operative?
Your original mortgage agreement with Co-operative will provide that you need their approval before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Co-operative’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Co-operative 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 Co-operative directly. You need not do this via a Co-operative conveyancing panel lawyer.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 72 years unexpired on my flat in Malton. I now want to extend my lease but my landlord is can not be found. What are my options?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you have done all that could be expected to locate the freeholder. In some cases a specialist would be useful to conduct investigations and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to proving the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Malton.
I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Malton, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Comparable flats in Malton with over 90 years remaining are worth £222,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2095
You have 71 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
