My financial adviser says he needs my Pocklington solicitor’s panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have contacted my local Pocklington branch but they have not got back to me yet.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Pocklington solicitor . They keep a central record lender panel numbers.
My partner and I are selling our property in Pocklington and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Pocklington. Having lived in Pocklington for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must enquire of 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Pocklington?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Pocklington. 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Pocklington is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Pocklington are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Pocklington you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Pocklington may determine 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 residence.
I'm refinancing my current home to a buy to let loan with The Mortgage Works and intend to use the remaining equity towards a second property. The location we are talking about is Pocklington. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of banks and link together the conveyances?
Do use our comparison tool on this site to ensure that the solicitors are approved by both mortgage companies. On the basis that they are your lawyer should be able to tie up the two transactions but you should have a chat with you conveyancer and make clear your expectations and needs.
Our conveyancing in Pocklington is completing on Friday, but the person I am buying from has asked to move out on the Saturday afternoon. Do I agree to such a idea?
In situations where you need a mortgage then your property lawyer will insist that you have vacant possession on Friday - the lender will insist on it.
