Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the house moving as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Gilberdyke. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Gilberdyke?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Gilberdyke. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
When it comes to lenders such as Yorkshire BS, do Gilberdyke solicitors have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any lender fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.
We were going to get a DIP from Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland recommend any Gilberdyke solicitors on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Gilberdyke solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Bank of Ireland through the process.
My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Gilberdyke and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Gilberdyke conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Gilberdyke. We have lived in Gilberdyke for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Gilberdyke. 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.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Gilberdyke

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. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? 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 the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I have been pointed in your direction by a few property agents in Gilberdyke to select a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers over and above a competitor’s?
We don’t make any commission for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
Back In 2001, I bought a leasehold flat in Gilberdyke. Conveyancing and Barnsley Building Society mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Gilberdyke who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact the Land Registry to be sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to instruct a Gilberdyke 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.

Be sure to discover if there are any onerous prohibitions in the lease. For instance it is fairly common in Gilberdyke leases that pets are not permitted in in a block in Gilberdyke. If you like the propertyin Gilberdyke but your cat is not allowed to move with you then you have a very hard choice. Can you tell me if there are any major works in the planning that could increase the maintenance charges? The prefered form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this scenario the leaseholders have control and although a managing agent is usually retained where the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.
