In a situation where the seller is applying a tight deadline for your conveyancing it is advisable to make sure that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will make use of local contacts and insight. It is possible that they could have handled otherhouses in the same road. Therefore consider using a Leyburn conveyancing solicitor. In addition, ensure that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company.

In many cases this discovery resulted in the home move being frustrated by an average of three weeks. It is estimated that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home sales annually. Many Leyburn conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check at the outset.
It is is a decade since I purchased my home in Leyburn. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. First the deeds may be retained by your lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Leyburn relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is unregistered it is more problematic but is not insurmountable.

We are intent on selling our house in Leyburn and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Leyburn. Having lived in Leyburn for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. 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. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
