It may have been a long time coming a mortgage offer from NatWest for the remortgage of my 2 room garden flat is due any day now. Could you propose a cheap conveyancing law firm in Yeadon?
You are on the wrong site if you are seeking the cheapest conveyancing in Yeadon. Our aim is to provide affordable conveyancing but our intention is not to advertise as being the cheapest. Resist the temptation to appoint companies offering the bait of £100 conveyancing in Yeadon. In your best case scenario, in choosing a lawyer for low cost conveyancing, you will get your money’s worth and at worst it will result in you invoiced for extras and still not end up with the service expected.
We're in Yeadon, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Nationwide , and our lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
My wife and I are downsizing from our house in Yeadon and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Yeadon. Having lived in Yeadon for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Yeadon?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Yeadon is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Yeadon are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Yeadon you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Yeadon may decide 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.
