I am expecting a mortgage offer from Santander. I would like to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Yeadon. Does the Santander Solicitor panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
When it comes to mortgage companies such as Co-operative, do Yeadon conveyancers face a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
Can I be sure that the Yeadon conveyancing solicitor on the Aldermore panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Yeadon getting recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the lawyer conducting your transaction.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Yeadon. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Lloyds have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As your lender is Lloyds your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Lloyds. The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and solicitors are required to report to Lloyds where a lease fails to comply with these conditions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Yeadon.
I moved into my home on 10 August and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Yeadon advises it should be concluded in less than a month. Are transfers in Yeadon uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Yeadon registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd parties. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected after the buyer is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Yeadon is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Yeadon are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Yeadon you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Yeadon may ascertain 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 property.
I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Yeadon. I happened to discover a site which appears to be the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all formalities done via phone that would be ideal. Should I be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?
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?
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Yeadon. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Yeadon - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
