Is there a list of Yorkshire BS panel solicitors in Nafferton on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such tool on the CML or Building Society Association sites. Very few lending institutions make their panel listings visible over the internet. If you are looking for a Nafferton lawyer on the Yorkshire BS please make the most of our facility.

I have paid off my mortgage with HSBC. I assume I don't need a Nafferton conveyancing practitioner on the HSBC panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your HSBC mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the HSBC mortgage from the register. HSBC, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where HSBC has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. HSBC has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Leeds Building Society. Is it usual for Leeds Building Society to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Nafferton is approved on their conveyancing panel? Leeds Building Society have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

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

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Nafferton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Nafferton conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Nafferton. We have lived in Nafferton for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You should 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)

How does conveyancing in Nafferton differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Nafferton approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Nafferton usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Nafferton or who has acted in the same development.

I bought a 1 bedroom flat in Nafferton, conveyancing was carried out 9 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Nafferton with an extended lease are worth £180,000. The ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2083

With only 59 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £20,900 and £24,200 as well as costs.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be additional issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.

I am buying a flat with all finances in place. I have provided solicitor with two separate forms of photo identification, bank statement, endless utility bills. Now he wants a copy from a probate lawyer acknowledging that the money is legitimate and that it has come from inheritance and not selling fake watches.

Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other. Evidence of your source of funds is required under Money Laundering Regulations.
