I was notified recently by my mortgage adviser that my South Yorkshire the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Solicitor panel. What can I do to be sure that this is correct?
The first thing you need to do is to call your South Yorkshire lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to inform you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may be able to suggest a South Yorkshire conveyancing practice that is on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.
As someone with no idea as to conveyancing in South Yorkshire what is your top tip you can give me concerning the home moving process in South Yorkshire
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in South Yorkshire or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and on occasion your lender. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in South Yorkshire should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the legal process whose role it is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest may attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your solicitor is slow. Or your financial adviser may try to convince you to do something that is against your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
I have recentlyfound out that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in South Yorkshire for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of South Yorkshire conveyancing specialists.
I'm buying a new build house in South Yorkshire with a loan from Yorkshire Building Society. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with Yorkshire Building Society. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Two months into buying a residence in South Yorkshire. Conveyancing solicitor has phoned to say the property is "Leasehold". Should this adversely affect our Halifax valuation?
South Yorkshire conveyancing does not in most situations involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it shouldn't impact the marketability significantly.
At the other end of the spectrum, if it's, say, fifty five years it will have a material impact on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be specified in the lease provided to your conveyancer.
