Edenthorpe Leasehold Conveyancing - A selection of Questions you should consider before buying

    Best to be warned if fixing the lift or some other significant cost is coming up to be shared amongst the leaseholders and could well dramatically impact the level of the maintenance charges or require a specific invoice. For many Edenthorpe leaseholds the outlay for major works are not built into the service charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Edenthorpe require leaseholders to pay into a sinking fund and this is used to offset against larger repairs or maintenance.

My 20yr old son is just in the process of moving house, he had his mortgage in principle. After the seller agreed the offer on the flat we contacted the building society to issue the formal offer. We were disappointed to learn that banks do not accept all conveyancing practitioner, they must be on their panel, is this correct?

Lenders tend to restrict either the type or the number of conveyancing practices on their panel. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that banks have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Edenthorpe conveyancing practitioner on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Probably not.
