I am expecting a offer of a home loan from Halifax. I would like to employ the services of a Licensed Conveyancer in South Yorkshire. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
As a FTB what is the most important advice you can impart concerning purchase conveyancing 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 experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the seller, property agent and even potentially the bank. 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 responsibility is to protect your best interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a potential adversary may try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
I have todaybecome aware that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in South Yorkshire for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest method to see if the property is registered to you, 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.
Given that I am about to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a two bedroom apartment in South Yorkshire I would like to have a conversation with the conveyancer about myhome move in advance of instructing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the conveyancer due to be conducting your conveyancing in South Yorkshire.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a matter reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in South Yorkshire should be the figure that you are charged.
Looking forward to sign contracts shortly on a studio apartment in South Yorkshire. Conveyancing lawyers inform me that they report fully within the next couple of days. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?
Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in South Yorkshire should include some of the following:

I acquired a basement flat in South Yorkshire, conveyancing was carried out 8 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding flats in South Yorkshire with over 90 years remaining are worth £195,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease expires on 21st October 2089
With just 63 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £16,200 and £18,600 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
