We are buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Filey. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to see if these works are prohibited?
Your solicitor will check the registered title as conveyancing in Filey will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain alterations or need the permission of another owner. Some extensions need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions.

We had instructed conveyancers based in Filey on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further sum for the legal aspects of the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Yorkshire BS?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Yorkshire BS but by your Filey conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many practices include it on their overall fee.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Filey. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Yorkshire BS be concerned?
As your lender is Yorkshire BS your lawyer must follow the conveyancing instructions set out in Section 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook stipulates minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease fails to satisfy these requirements. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Filey.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Filey is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Filey are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Filey you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Filey 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 premises.
