Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Mirfield

I am purchasing a flat in Mirfield. My lawyer is not listed on the lender solicitor panel. Is it possible for me to use my Mirfield conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

You must have a property lawyer to complete the legal work required if you require a loan to purchase your property. The conveyancer will conduct all the necessary legal checks on the property, ensuring that you will be registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. One may select a Mirfield conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the conveyancing practitioner appointed is not on the bank conveyancing panel supplemental fees will arise as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Conveyancing panel applications can be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not historically sought membership they should take the chance to apply.

I just bought a property at auction in Mirfield. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?

Now that you are legally committed yourself to purchase you will need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor soon as you are facing a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the transaction. All auction property should have an associated auction pack. This will likely include evidence of title and search results. If you have purchased leasehold property the conveyancing papers may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property. You must hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor ASAP. You also need to ensure that you have funds organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

I am buying a property in Mirfield. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender UBS be concerned?

Given that your lender is UBS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing requirements set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The CML Handbook stipulates minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to UBS where a lease fails to meet these requirements. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Mirfield.

I have a mortgage with Skipton for my property in Mirfield. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Skipton?

Your original mortgage agreement with Skipton will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Skipton’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Skipton 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 Skipton directly. You need not do this via a Skipton conveyancing panel lawyer.

Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that may affect a commercial estate in Mirfield?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Mirfield will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Mirfield. The report sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Mirfield.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Mirfield it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately can result in delays to Mirfield commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not carried out for domestic conveyancing in Mirfield.

How does conveyancing in Mirfield differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Mirfield come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Mirfield usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Mirfield or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Mirfield ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders may not issue a mortgage on this type of house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different requirements for example to Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can look into this further via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Mirfield. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

I'm refinancing my primary property to a buy to let mortgage with The Mortgage Works and intend to use the remaining equity as a deposit on a second property. The location we are talking about is Mirfield. Will your solicitors be able to act for the two mortgage companies and link together the transactions?

Make use of our search tool on this page to ensure that the lawyers are on the relevant lender panels. Having checked that they are the solicitor should be able to connect the two transactions but you should talk with you solicitor and make apparent your desired outcome and needs.
