In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, but Yorkshire BS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.

I can see plenty of information on this site about conveyancing in Linslade but what is your top tip for selecting the right conveyancer in Linslade

We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Linslade conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.

I am helping my aunt sell her flat in Linslade. Does the solicitor commission the energy assessment or it is for me to coordinate?

After the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s remained a mandatory part of selling a property. An energy performance certificate should be commissioned prior to the property being advertised. This is not something that lawyers ordinarily arrange. If you are using a Linslade conveyancing lawyer they may be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with long established Linslade providers

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Linslade property lawyer on the Yorkshire BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Yorkshire BS mortgage has been paid off.

I know that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to have this when purchasing a residence in Linslade? or I am told that there is a law dating back centuries that means some house owners living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards maintenance towards the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this appropriate for conveyancing in Linslade?

I have a semi-detached Edwardian property in Linslade. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Barclays Direct. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Linslade and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Linslade before appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. If you contact us we can check via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Linslade. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Linslade to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
