When it comes to lenders such as Skipton, do Endon property lawyers incur a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any lender fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have telephoned my Endon bank branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they will lend. My Endon conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called to say that they will not lend based on their published requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the lawyer is on the mortgage company panel, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook provisions for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
I recently had an offer accepted on a house in Endon. My mortgage broker suggested a lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £225. Soon after, the lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Yorkshire BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Endon completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Endon
-
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. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Endon is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Endon are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Endon 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 Endon 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.
Planning to complete next month on a studio apartment in Endon. Conveyancing solicitors have said that they are sending me a report on Monday. What should I be looking out for?

I inherited a 2 bed flat in Endon, conveyancing was carried out in 1996. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding properties in Endon with an extended lease are worth £165,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2101
With 77 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £7,600 and £8,800 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
Me and my partner are hoping to buy a 2 room ground floor flatin Endon with a residential mortgage from a bank. We have selected a conveyancer in Endon however our mortgage company inform us now that she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have little choice but to instruct from the our mortgage company panel solicitors or stay with our Endon conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our bank use our Endon lawyer?
No, not really. The lender mortgage issued is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Endon : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
