After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Seaton Delaval. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £175. Not long after, the lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Skipton panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

The deeds to my house can not be found. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Seaton Delaval 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?

Gone are the days when you need to have the physical original deeds to establish that you own the land or premises, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.

How does conveyancing in Seaton Delaval differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Seaton Delaval approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Seaton Delaval usually acquire 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 property lawyers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Seaton Delaval or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Seaton Delaval I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Seaton Delaval in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
