I have just started taking steps with a view to porting my current homeowner mortgage to a Buy to Let Birmingham Midshires mortgage. I have been informed by my broker that I must appoint a lawyer as part of the process. I got in contact with the same Yeadon conveyancing firm who dealt with the legals when I initially bought the property. The quote e-mailed to me of £500 is surprising as its a remortgage than a sale or purchase.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Yeadon is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Yeadon are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Yeadon you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Yeadon may determine 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 premises.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Yeadon. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If 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.
