I was told yesterday by my mortgage broker that my North Yorkshire solicitor is not on the bank Solicitor panel. What can I do to be certain whether this is indeed the case?
Your first step should be to call your North Yorkshire lawyer directly. You lawyer should notify you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a North Yorkshire conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
My partner and I are intent on selling our home in North Yorkshire and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in North Yorkshire. We have lived in North Yorkshire for many years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with 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)
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in North Yorkshire 5 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
Gone are the days when you need to have the physical deeds to evidence that you are the registered proprietor of land or premises, given that the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in North Yorkshire. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in North Yorkshire
-
Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. 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. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
As co-executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a house in Neath but I am based in North Yorkshire. My conveyancer (who is 260 kilometers awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec ahead of completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in North Yorkshire to witness and place their company stamp on the document?
strictly speaking you should not be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are based in North Yorkshire
I am in the process of purchasing my first property in North Yorkshire. Conveyancing lawyer already appointed. The financial consultant suggested that a survey is not appropriate as the house was only built in 2001.
The bare minimum you need a Home Buyer's Report. As the property is more than 10 years old the property will not come with a warranty, so you would be well advised not to take a risk. Where a property of this age shows no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could be enough. They will highlight any apparent problems and recommend further investigation where appropriate. Where there are any signs of material issues get a comprehensive structural survey.
