I am considering applying for a Skipton mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Wilberfoss with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Skipton ?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Skipton will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Wilberfoss is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Wilberfoss are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wilberfoss you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wilberfoss may decide 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.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to choosing a Wilberfoss conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?

If you are instructing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Wilberfoss conveyancing practice) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We suggest that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Wilberfoss conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be useful:

    If the firm is not ALEP accredited then why not? Can they put you in touch with clients in Wilberfoss who can give a testimonial?

I am the registered owner of a garden flat in Wilberfoss, conveyancing was carried out in 2007. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Wilberfoss with a long lease are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease finishes on 21st October 2089

You have 65 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £13,300 and £15,400 as well as professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

As a tenant I am liable for a maintenance contribution for my property in Wilberfoss. Due to redundancy and other issues I slipped into arrears with remittance. I negotiated a payment schedule but there remains approximately £2000 due in arrears.

I now wish to sell and I am nervous that this can hold me back if I have to pay off the amount due now. I'd like to sell up and then pay them back with the proceeds - is this practicable?

The lawyer undertaking your Wilberfoss sale will hopefully be able to negotiate with the management company, and agree with them whether or not they would accept settlement from completion monies. This is an example of why it might be good to instruct a conveyancer in Wilberfoss as they are likely to enjoy an established relationship with the parties.
