When can the exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Dewsbury and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Dewsbury you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Dewsbury)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
We are getting the release of further funds on our mortgage from Lloyds as we want to carry out improvements to our house in Dewsbury. Are we obliged to select a bricks and mortar Dewsbury solicitor on the Lloyds conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Lloyds would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Lloyds panel.
I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Dewsbury. I have a mortgage offer with Clydesdale. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Clydesdale, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.
I have a mortgage with UBS for my property in Dewsbury. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform UBS?
UBS must be informed of your intention before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. It may be that UBS will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact UBS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a UBS conveyancing panel solicitor.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
