Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Leyland

The vendors of the house we are hoping to buy have instructed a conveyancing firm in Leyland who has suggested a preliminary contract with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?

Exclusivity contracts are contracts binding a home vendor and prospective buyer giving the buyer a ‘clear field’ to purchase the premises for a certain period of time. For all intents and purposes, a lock out agreement is a contract specifying that you will be issued with a contract at a later time being the contract for the actual sale. It is generally utilised for buyer confidence though in many situations, the seller may stand to benefit from such agreements as well. There are many positives and negatives to having them but you need to check with your lawyer but note that it may result in incurring more in conveyancing charges. In light of these reasons these agreements are avoided when it comes to conveyancing in Leyland.

We are buying a newbuild flat in Leyland with a loan from HSBC Bank.We would like to retain our Leyland conveyancing solicitor but HSBC Bank informed us he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint a HSBC Bank panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a HSBC Bank panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that HSBC Bank use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the HSBC Bank solicitor panel. in the past, most banks 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. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for HSBC Bank

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Leyland with the aim of saving time on the sale process?

  • Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Leyland can be reduced if you appoint lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ conveyancers.
    • If you have had any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as historic rather than unresolved. You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be advisable double-check by asking your solicitors. A buyer’s conveyancer will be unlikely to recommend their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is below 75 years. It is therefore important at an early stage that you identify whether the lease term for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. If you have carried out any alterations to the property would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Leyland state that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord consenting to such changes. Should you dont have the approvals in place do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your lawyer first.
