Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Filey

My grandfather passed away 10 months ago and as sole heir and executor I was left the house in Filey. The house had a small mortgage remaining of approximately £4500. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Principality, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?

If you plan to re-mortgage then Principality will insist on your using a conveyancer on the Principality conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your Principality conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the Principality mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Kent Reliance. Filey conveyancing practitioners were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Kent Reliance?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Kent Reliance done the survey? Have you informed Kent Reliance as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

We were going to get a AIP from Clydesdale this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Clydesdale recommend any Filey solicitors on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Filey solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.

My offer was accepted on a house in Filey on 8/6/2026, valuation was booked five days after, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Yorkshire BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. Are Yorkshire BS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

The deeds to my house can not be found. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Filey 5 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?

Gone are the days when you need to have the physical deeds to prove you are the registered proprietor of land or premises, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Filey. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Filey

    There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

I decided to have a survey completed on a house in Filey in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may not grant a mortgage on such a house.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Halifax. If you e-mail us we can check with the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Filey. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Filey to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

Given that I will soon part with £400,000 on a house in Filey I wish to have a conversation with the solicitor regarding theconveyancing in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

We could not agree more - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer due to be conducting your property ownership legalities in Filey.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is an important individual, not a file reference.
