We are intending to acquire a 1 bedroom apartment in Leyburn with a mortgage. We have a Leyburn solicitor, however the bank says he's not on their "panel". It appears that we have no option but to use one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or retain our Leyburn property lawyer as well as pay for one of their panel lawyers to act for them. We feel that this is unjust; are we not able to insist that the mortgage company use our Leyburn lawyer ?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Leyburn conveyancing lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
My fiance and I are refinancing our flat in Leyburn with Nottingham. We have a son approaching twenty who lives at home. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who reside at the property. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, waiving any legal rights in the event that the flat is repossessed. I have a couple of questions (1) Is this form unique to the Nottingham conveyancing panel as he did not need to sign this form when we remortgaged 4 years ago (2) Does our son by signing this compromise his entitlement to inherit the property?
On the face of it your lawyer has done nothing wrong as it is established procedure for any occupier who is aged 17 or over to sign the necessary Consent Form, which is purely to state that any rights he has in the property are postponed and secondary to Nottingham. This is solely used to protect Nottingham if the property were re-possessed so that in such circumstances, your son would be legally obliged to leave. It does not impact your son’s right to inherit the apartment. Please note that if your son were to inherit and the mortgage in favour of Nottingham had not been discharged, he would be liable to take over the loan or pay it off, but other than that, there is nothing stopping him from keeping the property in accordance with your will or the rules of intestacy.

I am aiming to move house in January. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Leyburn. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across your page.
On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from the property agent but this can only happen after the sellers lawyers inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you will need to advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in Leyburn or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Leyburn.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Leyburn. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Leyburn
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? 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. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
I'm converting the mortgage on my primary home to a BTL loan with Accord Mortgages Ltd and I will use the ballance of the raised equity towards further house. The neighborhood we are looking at is Leyburn. Will your solicitors be able to act for both sets of lenders and tie in the conveyances?
Do use our search tool on this page to be sure that the lawyers are on the relevant lender panels. Having checked that they are the conveyancer will be able to tie up the two conveyancing matters but you should have a chat with you solicitor and specify your expectations and needs.
We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent informed us that the owners will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Leyburn
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Leyburn conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.
