Finally the sale completed on my house in Gilberdyke last November but my buyer keeps e-mailing me to moan that their lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?
After completion of your house sale your lawyer should send the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. If applicable, your solicitor must also send confirmation that the home loan has been discharged to the buyers lawyers. There are no post completion formalities unique to conveyancing in Gilberdyke.
My wife and I buying a victorian detached house in Gilberdyke. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve investigations to determine if these alterations were previously refused?
Your conveyancer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Gilberdyke will on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain alterations or need the permission of another owner. Certain works require local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I am expecting a DIP from Skipton this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Gilberdyke solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Gilberdyke solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.
About to purchase apartment in Gilberdyke. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Gilberdyke conveyancer is on the Santander conveyancing panel.

The Land Registry by statute are obliged to reveal price sold information on the official title for residential properties nationwide including properties in Gilberdyke.
