My IFA requires my Baildon solicitor’s panel reference for the Santander conveyancing panel. What is the best way to obtain this. I have tried my local Baildon office but they don't know it.

Have you tried speaking to your Baildon conveyancing practitioner about this?. Most Baildon conveyancing firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each lender.

When does exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Baildon and am I required to be at the conveyancers office?

Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Baildon you are welcome to come in to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide a national conveyancing service and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Baildon)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I am helping my mother sell her property in Baildon. Will the solicitor order an energy performance certificate or should I organise this?

After the demise of Home Packs, energy assessments became a required component of moving property. An energy assessment must be to hand in advance of the property being advertised. This is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers normally arrange. If you are using a Baildon conveyancing practitioner they might help arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established Baildon energy assessors

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Skipton, do Baildon conveyancing practitioners incur a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their list of approved firms, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

I'm buying a new build house in Baildon with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The builders would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the extras as it would put at risk my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Completion is due on our sale of a £150,000 flat in Baildon next week. The managing agents has quoted £420 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Baildon?

Baildon conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes typically results in fees being invoiced by freeholders :

    Answering pre-exchange enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Baildon Copies of the building insurance and schedule Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your conveyancer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Baildon leasehold property is £350. For Baildon conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to provide the information.

I bought a basement flat in Baildon, conveyancing was carried out 4 years ago. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Corresponding flats in Baildon with an extended lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2085

With only 61 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £18,100 and £20,800 plus professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
