We see that you have a post code search directory listing law firms on the RBS conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our conveyancing in West Yorkshire?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the RBS conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in West Yorkshire.
Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a online directory to list law firms on the Loughborough BS conveyancing panel for example in West Yorkshire?
We have not been informed any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a tool.
I am downsizing from our house in West Yorkshire and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a nationwide conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in West Yorkshire. We have lived in West Yorkshire for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I have a renovated Edwardian property in West Yorkshire. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Barclays Direct. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in West Yorkshire and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

I inherited a ground floor flat in West Yorkshire, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in West Yorkshire with over 90 years remaining are worth £265,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 levied per year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2101
With only 75 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £8,600 and £9,800 plus legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. 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 clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
