I am acquiring a maisonette in Ossett. My lawyer has never been on on the bank approved list. Is it possible for me to appoint my Ossett conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank panel?
One will need to instruct a conveyancing practitioner to deal with the legal work required when you take out a loan to purchase your home. They will conduct all the relevant due diligence on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is in place. One may select a Ossett solicitor of your choice. However, where the solicitor appointed is not a member of the lender approved list further costs will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not historically sought membership they can do so.

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Ossett. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I purchased a 1st floor flat in Ossett, conveyancing was carried out January 2006. 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? Comparable properties in Ossett with an extended lease are worth £185,000. The ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease ends on 21st October 2086
You have 60 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £20,000 and £23,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
