We previously instructed conveyancing lawyers with offices in New Ferry on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They have just billed me a further fee for handling the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by Yorkshire BS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your conveyancer may levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Yorkshire BS but by your New Ferry conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but some firms include it on their overall fee.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Skipton are being pedantic. The New Ferry solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Skipton are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Clydesdale. Is it usual for Clydesdale to only issue the offer once my solicitor in New Ferry is approved on their conveyancing panel? Clydesdale have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. New Ferry is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in New Ferry are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside New Ferry you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in New Ferry may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my uncle I am disposing of a house in Monmouth but I am based in New Ferry. My solicitor (approximately 250 miles awayrequires that I sign a statutory declaration ahead of completion.

strictly speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are based in New Ferry
Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in New Ferry from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in New Ferry can be avoided where you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ lawyers. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s consent? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? New Ferry leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such changes. If you dont have the approvals to hand do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your solicitor in the first instance. Some New Ferry leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are financially capable of paying the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but you should verify this via your solicitors. A buyer’s lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to to exchange contracts if the remaining number of years is below 80 years. In the circumstances it is important at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale.
I acquired a split level flat in New Ferry, conveyancing was carried out 9 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in New Ferry with over 90 years remaining are worth £191,000. The ground rent is £55 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2078
With just 53 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £27,600 and £31,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
