Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Scarborough

My wife and I are soon to complete buying a house in Scarborough but as a result of damage from a small fire at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the vendor of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however Coventry BS will not permit this. Why were they approached?

Any conveyancer being on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is required to disclose to Coventry BS of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to disclose the price change to Coventry BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Coventry BS and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Scarborough.

I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Scarborough conveyancing solicitors have been appointed. How long does it take for Bank of Ireland to forward the offer to the lawyer?

There is no definitive answer here. Have Bank of Ireland conducted the valuation? Have you informed Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our house are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Scarborough 10 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?

As long as the title is registered the details of your ownership will be retained by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, find your property and secure up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.

I decided to have a survey done on a property in Scarborough prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor advised that some lenders will not give a loan on a flying freehold property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions for example to Halifax. If you call us we can check via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Scarborough. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Scarborough especially if they are accustomed to such properties in Scarborough.

I am selling my home. My past solicitors have shut. It would be helpful to have a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Scarborough if that affects matters.
