Please help - my lawyer advises that restrictive coveneant insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Finningley?

The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.

Can you point me to a directory of UBS panel solicitors in Finningley on the Building Society Association’s Website?

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nationwide. Is it usual for Nationwide to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Finningley is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nationwide have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for hinderance in Finningley house deals. Is that correct?

I was advised by a few estate agents in Finningley to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers rather than another?

We don’t give any financial incentive for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

My husband and I may need to let out our Finningley ground floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Finningley conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Your lease dictates the relationship between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will set out if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Finningley do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the property. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the tenancy agreement.
