My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Ripponden. I need to find out whether they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Can you assist?
You should phone the lawyer and enquire whether they can act for the bank. Otherwise please get in touch with Leeds Building Society who may be able to help.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Ripponden. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Ripponden?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Ripponden. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s conveyancers, and once they have received this, you should be able to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
We are aiming to move property in May. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Ripponden. Conveyancing lawyer was found prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the property agent but this should only take place after the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you should inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Ripponden or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Ripponden.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Ripponden. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Ripponden and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Ripponden conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Ripponden. Having lived in Ripponden for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You must 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Ripponden differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Ripponden approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because builders in Ripponden usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Ripponden or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Ripponden in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not issue a loan on such a premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Ripponden. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Ripponden especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Ripponden.
My husband and I are a couple of weeks into a leasehold purchase having been referred to solicitors by the estate agent to handle our conveyancing in Ripponden. I am am starting to be frustrated with the level of service. Can you you assist me in finding new lawyers?
They would have to be really bad to suggest replacing them. Has the loan offer been issued? If so you must make them aware of the replacement solicitor and ensure the offer are issued to the new lawyers. Your conveyancer needs to be on the lenders approved list to avoid escalating expenses and frustration. That should be your first question of the new conveyancers.
