The mortgage offer from Santander for the refinancing of my 2 room maisonette is coming by the end of next week. Can you propose a low cost conveyancing practitioner in Otley?

This site is not designed to aid those in pursuit of cut-price fees for conveyancing solicitors in Otley. Our intention is to offer cost effective conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers.

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Bank of Ireland completed the survey? Have you informed Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

About to purchase flat in Otley. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Otley conveyancing practitioner is on the Principality conveyancing panel.

As with many professional services, often recommendations from connections can be most helpful. Yet there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may recommend lawyers to select. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to appoint your preferred lawyer. Don't forget that some banks specify a panel list of solicitors you are obliged to use for the mortgage related work in your home move.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Otley. Before I get started I would like to find out the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Otley - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

    It would be sensible to discover if there are any onerous restrictions in the lease. For example it is reasonably common in Otley leases that pets are not permitted in certain buildings in Otley.

This information is important as a) areas may result in problems in the block as the communal areas may begin to deteriorate if services are not paid for b) if the tenants have a dispute with the managing agents you will need to have complete disclosure
