I am purchasing a new build flat in East Yorkshire. Can I do my own conveyancing?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in East Yorkshire you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests.

Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender.

Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in East Yorkshire. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?
Having exchanged you will need to choose a conveyancing practitioner soon as you now have a fast approaching a fixed date to complete the conveyancing. All auction property will have an associated legal pack. This should include most,if not all of the paperwork that your solicitor will need. In the case of leasehold property the auction papers may provide a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation specific to a leasehold property. You need to give this to the solicitor instructed by you at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete on the date specified in the contract.
I am planning to move property in February. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in East Yorkshire. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your selling agent however this can only happen after the sellers solicitors advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. You will need to advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in East Yorkshire or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in East Yorkshire.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2010, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Skipton are being difficult. The East Yorkshire solicitor who is on the Skipton conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Skipton are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Skipton have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Skipton have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Skipton may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Me and my brother have a renovated Edwardian house in East Yorkshire. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Coventry Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in East Yorkshire and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also check the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.
Myself and my wife have just had an offer accepted on a property and had an appointment on Wednesday with HSBC for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to selecting a conveyancer that unless they are on their approved list of conveyancing practitioners then we will incur an extra fee of £200. This is because they will then have to appoint a conveyancer to act on their behalf as well as the one we select for ourselves and we are liable for their costs. I have requested HSBC to supply me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?
You can enquire of HSBC what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC historically. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Another option is to make use of our search tool and we should be able to identify a lawyer in East Yorkshire on the approved list for HSBC.
