Finally the sale completed on my house in Yeadon last February yet the purchaser is whats apping me complaining that their conveyancer needs to hear from mysolicitor. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Post completion of your disposal your lawyer should send the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Where relevant, your conveyancer should also evidence that the mortgage has been repaid to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Yeadon.

I have justbecome aware that Stirling Law have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Yeadon for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Yeadon conveyancing specialists.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial property in Yeadon and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to affords security of tenure to commercial lessees, giving them the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Yeadon is one of the hundreds of areas of the UK in which our lawyers have offices
I only have Seventy years unexpired on my flat in Yeadon. I now want to get lease extension but my freeholder is can not be found. What should I do?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to track down the lessor. For most situations a specialist may be helpful to conduct investigations and to produce a report to be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor both on proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Yeadon.
I bought a studio flat in Yeadon, conveyancing was carried out 8 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable properties in Yeadon with an extended lease are worth £211,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2094
With only 68 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
I am in the process of purchasing my 1st house in Yeadon. Conveyancing practitioner has been selected. The broker suggested that a survey is not needed as the house is just fifteen years old.
You would be well advised to undertake a Home Buyer's Report. As the residence was constructed more than a decade ago the property will not benefit from a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of defects a Home Buyer's report could be enough. The report should highlight any apparent problems and suggest further investigation where appropriate. If there are any signs of material issues get a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
