Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Yateley is more expensive?
In short, leasehold conveyancing in Yateley and Hampshire usually necessitates more work compared to freehold transactions. This includes analysing the lease terms, corresponding with the landlord about serving required notices, procuring current service charge and management information, securing the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – no matter how many different owners have owned the lease since it was first granted.
We are purchasing a newbuild apartment in Yateley with a homeloan from Barnsley Building Society.We like our Yateley conveyancing practitioner but Barnsley Building Society advised that her practice is not listed on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Barnsley Building Society panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barnsley Building Society use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Barnsley Building Society conveyancing panel. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose 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 Barnsley Building Society
I have justdiscovered that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Yateley for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Yateley conveyancing specialists.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Yateley prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to issue a loan on a flying freehold property.

I have been told by numerous family members to expect six to eight weeks for Yateley conveyancing to complete.This was 3 ago. The draft contract was only received to my conveyancer a couple of days ago so does the clock start running now?
You should be pragmatic about timing. Moving home in Yateley takes on average about ten weeks. This time period is not because lawyer are slow and willfully delay matters. The amount of money involved in purchasing any property is so high, the purchaser's conveyancer having to carry out a whole range of questions, searches and further checks to protect the purchaser and their mortgage company (if there is to be a home loan) from expensive, avoidable problems. Conveyancing in Yateley involves obtaining information from an array of third parties, including other lawyer, local councils, private companies, building societies and banks. Some of these are well organised. Others are not. It is worth noting that, it doesn't matter how quickly your conveyancer do their job, if the people you are purchasing from or are selling to aren't ready, nothing can go ahead until they are.
