I am under pressure from the owner of a property in West Yorkshire to complete within four weeks. What can I do to speed up matters?
In a situation where the seller is applying a tight deadline for your conveyancing it is advisable to make sure that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will make use of local relationships and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they could have handled previoushouses in the same road. You would be best advised to use a West Yorkshire conveyancing lawyer. Second, ensure that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is said that nearly one in five of West Yorkshire conveyancing deals are held up or jeopardised after finding out that a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the home move being held up by almost 21 days. It is said that this issue impacts in the region of 100,000 home moves every year. Almost all West Yorkshire conveyancing firms can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.
I have a terraced Victorian property in West Yorkshire. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. Is it worth asking Nationwide Building Society to clarify?
You need to assess 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 proprietor 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 buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

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. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in West Yorkshire I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in West Yorkshire in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
