My wife and I buying a victorian detached house in Thorne. We would like to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will legal investigations on the property include checks to ascertain if these works are prohibited?
Your conveyancer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Thorne can sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain alterations or need the permission of another owner. Some works need local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
We had appointed conveyancing lawyers located in Thorne on the Leeds Building Society solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for dealing with the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Leeds Building Society?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Leeds Building Society but by your Thorne conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but some practices include it on their overall fee.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in November 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Co-operative are being a right pain. The Thorne solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Co-operative are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I am purchasing my first flat in Thorne with a mortgage from Clydesdale. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it will impact my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Thorne is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Thorne are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Thorne you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Thorne may determine 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.
As co-executor for the estate of my grandmother I am disposing of a house in Newport but I am based in Thorne. My lawyer (approximately 250 kilometers awayneeds me to execute a statutory declaration ahead of the transaction finalising.

Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or qualified solicitor will do regardless of whether they are located in Thorne
Me and my wife are first time buyers just having agreed a price on a property in Thorne, and need to get solicitors lined up. We have used the various comparison based websites and the results are from all across the country. Is it essential to have a Thorne conveyancing practitioner local to our prospective house? We are content to do everything over the web, but I am thinking at some stage we will need to visit the solicitor's office to sign contracts?
There is no requirement to physically visit the office of your conveyancing practitioner, they can send any relevant papers to you, which you can sign and send back. Many buyers and sellers choose to use a locally based solicitor, but it's by no means a prerequisite for conveyancing in Thorne.
