My Solicitor in Whiston is not on the Yorkshire Building Society Conveyancing Panel. Can I still continue with my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Yorkshire Building Society panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Carry on with your existing Whiston solicitors but Yorkshire Building Society will need to retain a lawyer on their panel. This will result in additional total conveyancing charges as well as cause frustration.
- Find a new solicitor to to deal with the purchase, remembering to check they are on the Yorkshire Building Society panel
2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Whiston took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Whiston. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Whiston
-
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. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Whiston before appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to issue a mortgage on this type of home.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Whiston. I happened to chance upon a web site which seems to have the perfect answer If there is a chance to get all the legals completed via web that would be ideal. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Why am I unable to complete our conveyancing in Whiston on a bank holiday?
Because on completion the sale price needs to be transferred electronically between the banks of the purchaser and owner’s conveyancing practitioner and currently this can only occur on a business day. It is not possible to complete on a weekend either.
