Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lydiate

We decided to go with a high street firm for my conveyancing in Lydiate recently. Reviewing the terms of engagement I seeI am liable for costs even if the dealfalls through. Would I be best advised to choose an on-line solicitor practice promoting no move no charge conveyancing in Lydiate?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to cover those conveyances that fail to complete. Please beware that such deals generally do not cover expenses for example Lydiate conveyancing search charges.

My fiance and I are refinancing our apartment in Lydiate with RBS. We have a son 18 who lives with us. Our solicitor has asked us to disclose anyone over the age of 17 other than ourselves who lives in the flat. Our lawyer has now e-mailed a document for our son to sign, giving up any rights in the event that the property is repossessed. I have two questions (1) Is this document specific to the RBS conveyancing panel as he never had to sign this form when we remortgaged 5 years ago (2) In signing this form is our son in any way compromising his right 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 RBS. This is solely used to protect RBS 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 RBS 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.

we are a couple who wish to acquire a purpose built flat in Lydiate with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society.We like our Lydiate conveyancing solicitor but Leeds Building Society says her practice is not on their "panel". We have to appoint a Leeds Building Society panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Leeds Building Society use our lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find 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 solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Leeds Building Society

A relative suggested that if I am buying in Lydiate I should ask my conveyancer to carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

This is a search is usually included in the estimate for your Lydiate conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and setting out significant information about Lydiate around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Lydiate Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Lydiate Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning Lydiate.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Lydiate is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Lydiate are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Lydiate you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lydiate may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

What makes a Lydiate lease problematic?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Lydiate. Most leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the property

A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. National Westminster Bank, Barnsley Building Society, and Barclays Direct all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the purchaser to pull out.

I acquired a 1st floor flat in Lydiate, conveyancing formalities finalised 6 years ago. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent flats in Lydiate with an extended lease are worth £176,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced every year. The lease expires on 21st October 2104

With 80 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £7,600 and £8,800 plus professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
