we are a couple who are buying a newbuild apartment in Dewsbury with a homeloan from Yorkshire Building Society.We use our Dewsbury conveyancing solicitor but Yorkshire Building Society says his firm is not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Yorkshire Building Society panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Yorkshire Building Society use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers needs to be on the Yorkshire Building Society approved list. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Yorkshire Building Society

What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Dewsbury

Do not opt for the cheapest Dewsbury conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I am due to move house in July. Should my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Dewsbury. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen before I stumbled across your page.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your property agent however this can only occur once the previous owners lawyers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. You should tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Dewsbury or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Dewsbury.

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Virgin Money, do Dewsbury conveyancing practitioners face a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We are not aware of any bank fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

I am purchasing my first flat in Dewsbury with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my solicitor about the side-deal as it could jeopardize my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

How do I use the search tool to find a conveyancing practitioner in Dewsbury on the authorised to act for my bank?

Step one is to pick a lender such as Yorkshire Building Society, Skipton Building Society or Barclays Direct then specify your preferred area a common one being Dewsbury. Conveyancing organisations in Dewsbury and further afield will then be identified.

I work for a long established estate agency in Dewsbury where we have experienced a number of flat sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local Dewsbury conveyancing firms. Could you clarify whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.

An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

I inherited a leasehold flat in Dewsbury, conveyancing having been completed October 2007. 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? Similar properties in Dewsbury with a long lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2094

With only 69 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £9,500 and £11,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
