I am hoping to receive a mortgage with Halifax. I intend to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Ossett. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
Our god-son is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Ossett with a home loan from UBS. His solicitor has advised him of a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the UBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the UBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Ossett?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Ossett. 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 tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two maisonettes in Ossett both have in the region of fifty years left on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease gets shorter the value of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this field.
I bought a garden flat in Ossett, conveyancing having been completed July 2004. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Ossett with a long lease are worth £175,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease ends on 21st October 2084
With 58 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £23,800 and £27,400 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on 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 may be other concerns that need to be taken into account 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 without first seeking the advice of a professional.
