Having sold my house in Willerby last December but the buyer keeps whats apping daily to say their solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What should have happened following completion?
Post completion of your house sale your solicitor should deliver the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Where appropriate, your conveyancer should also confirm that the mortgage has been discharged to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion steps unique to conveyancing in Willerby.

I am assisting my aunt sell her house in Willerby. Does the conveyancer arrange the energy assessment or it is for me to see to?
Following the demise of HIPs, EPC’s remained a mandatory part of selling a property. An energy assessment must be commissioned prior to the property being put on the market. This is not something that conveyancers ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Willerby conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange EPC’s due to their relationships with long established Willerby energy assessors
I currently have a mortgage with HSBC for my property in Willerby. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform HSBC?
HSBC must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of HSBC’s mortgage conditions. It may be that HSBC will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact HSBC directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a HSBC conveyancing panel lawyer.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Willerby I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Willerby in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the 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 then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

We are in the midst of selling our flat in Willerby. Conveyancing is fine but we have been asked to pay a fortune from the landlord. To date we have issued a cheque for £275 for a leasehold management information and then another £134.40 for answers to queries raised by the purchaser's lawyer.
Your lawyer will unlikely have any impact over the extent of the charges for this information but the typical fee for the information for Willerby leasehold premises is £380. When it comes to Willerby conveyancing deals it is standard for the seller to cover the costs. The freeholder or their agents are under no statutory obligation to answer these questions although many will be willing to do so - albeit often at high prices disproportionate to the work involved. Regretfully there is no legislation that requires fixed fees for administrative tasks. Nor is there any legal time limit by which they are duty bound to issue answers.
