When it comes to mortgage companies such as Santander, do Guisborough conveyancers have to pay a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?

We have agreed to purchase a house in Guisborough. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Yorkshire BS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As your lender is Yorkshire BS your lawyer must follow the formal requirements outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease does not comply with these requirements. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not restricted to Guisborough.

We are selling our home in Guisborough and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Guisborough. We have lived in Guisborough for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should 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 illness)

Given that I am about to part with over three hundred thousand on a garden flat in Guisborough I wish to have a conversation with the lawyer about myconveyancing in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for leasehold conveyancing in Guisborough. I've discover a web site which seems to have the perfect answer If it is possible to get all the legals completed via email that would be ideal. Do I need to be concerned? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Guisborough from the perspective of speeding up the sale process?

  • Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Guisborough can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ representatives.
  • A minority of Guisborough leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors. The majority of landlords or managing agents in Guisborough levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management information can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most usual reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Guisborough. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Guisborough state that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. Should you dont have the approvals to hand you should not communicate with the landlord without checking with your conveyancer in advance.

I bought a 1st floor flat in Guisborough, conveyancing having been completed in 2010. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Guisborough with an extended lease are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2085

With 60 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £20,000 and £23,000 plus costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
