I am obtaining a mortgage with Halifax. My intention is to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Huddersfield. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

We are selling our apartment in Huddersfield. Will my conveyancing practitioner need to be required to be on the UBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the UBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently in recent years.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Huddersfield. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Huddersfield
-
The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Huddersfield I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Huddersfield suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
