It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Wombwell. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the title documents. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by the lender or they could stored with the lawyers who acted in the purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Wombwell relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
I am buying a house and the conveyancer has identified Chancel Repair for which the house could be liable because it falls into the area of such a church. He has suggested insurance. Is this really required for conveyancing in Wombwell
Unless a previous purchase of the property took place after 12 October 2013 you can expect solicitors conducting conveyancing in Wombwell to continue to recommend a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.
I am buying my first flat in Wombwell benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it would jeopardize my mortgage with Clydesdale. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Wombwell is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Wombwell are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wombwell you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wombwell 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 residence.

My conveyancing in Wombwell is completing on Friday, but the couple I am purchasing from wishes to move out on the Saturday at 2pm. Can I agree to this?
It is not possible to complete on a Saturday because the bank systems aren't working.
