Can you point me to a directory of Bank of Ireland panel conveyancers in Ripponden on the Building Society Association’s Website?

I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Aldermore. Is it usual for Aldermore to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Ripponden is approved on their conveyancing panel? Aldermore have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Ripponden agreed to, the owners do however have an associated purchase. The sellers have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Ripponden. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Leeds Building Society started?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Ripponden conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should check that your solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. As to the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, motivation for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their conveyancing practitioner to press on with searches.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Ripponden?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Ripponden. 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…’
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Ripponden is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Ripponden are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ripponden you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ripponden may ascertain 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.
At what stage do I pay the Stamp Duty Land Tax chargeable for my Ripponden house purchase?
The majority of conveyancing practitioners tend to complete a stamp duty return for you as part of your Ripponden purchase transaction for you to sign. After completion your lawyer will submit the STL Return Form to the Inland Revenue and - assuming they have the money - settle any land tax payable for you.
