We are buying a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Temple Fortune who is on the Yorkshire BS approved panel. Can you recommend a local firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Yorkshire BS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Temple Fortune.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Bank of Ireland Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Temple Fortune?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
We are purchasing a detached bungalow in Temple Fortune. We would like to an extension at the rear at the house.Will legal investigations on the property include enquiries to see if these works are prohibited?
Your solicitor will check the registered title as conveyancing in Temple Fortune can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of alterations or need the consent of a 3rd party. Many extensions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I'm the single recipient of my late father’s estate and I have everything in my name now, including the house in Temple Fortune. The Temple Fortune property was put into my name in June. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders six month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the property in June. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. How sensible a view banks take of it, depend on the bank as this requirement primarily exists to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
I have paid off my mortgage with Nottingham. I assume I don't need a Temple Fortune property lawyer on the Nottingham panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Nottingham 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 Nottingham mortgage from the register. Nottingham, 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Nottingham has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Nottingham has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I'm purchasing a new build house in Temple Fortune benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not reveal to my conveyancer about this deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Temple Fortune prior to instructing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. My surveyor advised that some banks will not issue a loan on such a house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Temple Fortune. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Temple Fortune to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
