We suggest that you think twice as to how much you respect your own move to want to be penny wise pound foolish over the quality of the legal work. Many of them accentuate a budget quote to grab your attention but conceal additional costs in the small print..

We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Yorkshire BS as we wish to carry out renovations to our home in Drybrook. Are we obliged to choose a high street Drybrook solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Yorkshire BS would not normally instruct a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Yorkshire BS panel.
I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Drybrook building society branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Drybrook conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they would not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?
As long as the property lawyer is on the lender approved list, she or he must follow the CML Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company 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 mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
My wife and I purchased a renovated Victorian property in Drybrook. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Santander. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Drybrook and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
