I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Ripponden for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage company Barnsley Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?
Lenders in the main imposes restrictions either the type or the amount of conveyancing firms on their panel. A common example of such restriction(s) being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the profile of firm, a few banks have decided to limit the number of solicitor practices they permit to represent them. Be aware that Barnsley Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Barnsley Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there are mixed opinions about the extent of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry indicate that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Ripponden only execute very few conveyances a year.
I am due to move house in May. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Ripponden. Conveyancing solicitor was organised before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent however this should only take place once the sellers conveyancers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. After that you can tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in Ripponden or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Ripponden.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Ripponden. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Coventry BS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that your lender is Coventry BS your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease fails to satisfy these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Ripponden.
My fiancee and I are spending time viewing flats in Ripponden and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a property lawyer appointed at this point? I am planning to take a home loan with Clydesdale.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

I am looking at a two flats in Ripponden both have in the region of forty five years unexpired on the leases. should I be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the marketability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to extend the lease term. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you seek professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.

My mum and dad cant seem to find their Ripponden property on the HMLR website. They recall that 48 years ago when they bought the property there were complications with the address not being identified on some systems.
Nearly all residences in Ripponden should be revealed. Have you limited your search with simply the postcode. Ordinarily it will disclose all the properties within the postcode. Where registered it will show up with a title number. If they bought back in the 70’s it's conceivable it may be unregistered. The address might still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title documentation which could be with your parent’s lender.
