My lawyer in Turvey has never been on on the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing Panel. Can I still use my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Leeds Building Society approved list?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Complete the purchase with your preferred Turvey lawyers but Leeds Building Society will need to retain a lawyer on their panel. This will result in additional total legal charges and result in frustration.
- Choose a new solicitor to act in the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Leeds Building Society approved.
- Persuade your Leeds Building Society based solicitor to try to join the Leeds Building Society panel
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Leeds Building Society, do Turvey property lawyers face a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
My offer was accepted on a house in Turvey on 4/11/2024, valuation was booked 3 days later, all came back fine. Property lawyer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Skipton and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Are Skipton entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
My offer on a property in Turvey has been accepted, the sellers do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on a property, but it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Turvey. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is normal to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Turvey conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you should ensure that your solicitor is on the Skipton approved list. As to the next phase this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Skipton and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Turvey.
I am buying a new build flat in Turvey. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Turvey
-
Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Please supply a car parking plan. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
Jane (my partner) and I may need to rent out our Turvey garden flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Turvey conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Turvey do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
I bought a 1st floor flat in Turvey, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Comparable flats in Turvey with a long lease are worth £195,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2087
You have 63 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £16,200 and £18,600 plus professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
