I am obtaining a mortgage with Halifax. My intention is to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Yorkshire Dales. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
My Conveyancer in Yorkshire Dales is not listed on the Britannia Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to retain my family solicitor even though they are not on the Britannia panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
Your options are as follows:
- Complete the purchase with your existing Yorkshire Dales solicitors but Britannia will need to retain a conveyancer on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional total conveyancing charges as well as result in delays.
- Find an alternative practitioner to act in the conveyancing, not forgetting to check they are Britannia approved.
- Try to convince your Britannia solicitor to try to join the Britannia panel
The deeds to my property can not be found. The lawyers who handled the conveyancing in Yorkshire Dales 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
Gone are the days when you need to hold title original deeds to prove you are the owner of your registered land or property, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Yorkshire Dales. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Yorkshire Dales
-
Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply a car parking plan. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
My partner has urged me to use his lawyers for conveyancing in Yorkshire Dales. Should I find my own solicitor?
No doubt the ideal way to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to have feedback from friends or family who have experience in using the firm that you are are thinking of instructing.
