My lawyer in Mexborough is not on the Halifax Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my family solicitor even though they are not on the Halifax list of approved lawyers?

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Virgin Money. Mexborough conveyancing practitioners are appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Virgin Money?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Virgin Money completed the survey? Have you advised Virgin Money as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I'm in the process of looking at houses in Mexborough and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a property lawyer appointed at this stage? I am planning to take a mortgage with Nottingham.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are seeking a mortgage with Nottingham, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I can not fathom if my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Mexborough building society branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Mexborough conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the property lawyer is on the mortgage company panel, they must adhere to the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
We are planning on selling our home in Mexborough and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Mexborough. We have lived in Mexborough for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Mexborough. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Mexborough
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Mexborough I like with a park and station nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Mexborough in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
