Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Mirfield

I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (five years old) in Mirfield. 95% of the appartments are already sold. Is it strictly necessary to order local searches for my conveyancing in Mirfield?

Where you are obtaining a mortgage, your bank will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Mirfield conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Mirfield.

What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Mirfield

Do not opt for the cheapest Mirfield conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I am due to move property in July. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Mirfield. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across this website.

On the day of completion you can pick up the keys from the selling agent however this should only occur after the vendors conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you can tell 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 Mirfield or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Mirfield.

It is not clear whether my mortgage offer requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Mirfield bank branch on a couple of occasions and was advised it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Mirfield conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.

Provided that the solicitor is on the lender approved list, they must follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Mirfield?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Mirfield. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I am buying a new build house in Mirfield benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent told me not inform my solicitor about the side-deal as it may affect my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

What are your top tips when it comes to finding a Mirfield conveyancing practice to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?

When appointing a property lawyer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Mirfield conveyancing practice) it is most important that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We suggest that you talk with several firms including non Mirfield conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be helpful:

    What volume of lease extensions have they completed in Mirfield in the last year?

I am the registered owner of a studio flat in Mirfield, conveyancing formalities finalised August 2000. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding properties in Mirfield with an extended lease are worth £186,000. The ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2077

With just 52 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

We are soon to acquiring a apartment in Mirfield. Could our solicitor have our transaction price confidential from sites such as Rightmove. How can this be achieved ?

HM Land Registry by statute are bound to specify price paid data on the official title for residential properties nationwide including premises in Mirfield. The Title Register is an open document, so HM Land Registry would be breaking the law excluded certain properties such as your property in Mirfield.

In essence you can ask HM Land Registry to hide the amount paid data however the response will be a No.
