I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Whalley for our home move. Our broker has since advised us that our mortgage company Clydesdale won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
A bank may require a panel conveyancer act for it. Borrowers are expected to bear the charges for this. Do use our tool to locate a solicitor to carry conveyancing in Whalley on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
Do commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that may affect a commercial site in Whalley?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Whalley will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers spend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Whalley. The report provides definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Whalley.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Whalley it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately can result in delays to Whalley commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not ordered for domestic conveyancing in Whalley.
I am buying a new build house in Whalley with a mortgage from Leeds Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my solicitor about the deal as it could put at risk my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Whalley ahead of instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to issue a loan on such a home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Whalley. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Whalley especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Whalley.
When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Whalley what are the most common lease defects?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Whalley. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Insurance obligations Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Santander, The Royal Bank of Scotland, and Nottingham Building Society all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the purchaser to pull out.
I inherited a leasehold flat in Whalley, conveyancing was carried out in 2000. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Whalley with an extended lease are worth £201,000. The ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2088
With 64 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £14,300 and £16,400 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
I previously told by my bank that their panel solicitors operate no completion no charge basis for conveyancing in Whalley. I had a purchase abort and now the conveyancers have requested search fees! They say the fees are nothing to do with their fees!
in promising "no completion no fee" Whalley conveyancing lawyers are waiving their fees for any work done. We should point out that this is not to be regarded as an insurance scheme. Disbursements aren’t covered – where the property lawyer have to pay money out to third parties, e.g. Whalley local search fees
