I am expecting a mortgage offer from Santander. I would like to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Easingwold. Does the Santander Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Easingwold. I I would like to check whether they are on the Bank of Scotland conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

I completed on my flat on 4 July and my personal details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Easingwold advises it will be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Easingwold particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Easingwold registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Easingwold.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Easingwold

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Easingwold. Conveyancing and Virgin Money mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing solicitor in Easingwold who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?
First make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Easingwold conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their service charge payments? What is the the remaining lease term? You will want to discover as much as you can regarding the company managing the building as they will either make living at the property much simpler or uncomfortable. Being a leasehold owner you are frequently at the mercy of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to practical issues like the cleanliness of the communal areas. You should not be shy to ask other people what they think of their service. Finally, find out the dates that the service fees are due to the appropriate party and precisely what it includes.
