Me and my husband are purchasing a maisonette in Helmsley. My Solicitor has never been on on the bank approved panel. Am I still permitted to retain my Helmsley conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You will need to use a lawyer to complete the legal work required when you take out a loan to buy your home. The lawyer will conduct all the essential due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in place. You may appoint a Helmsley conveyancer of your choosing. However, if the solicitor selected is not a member of the mortgage company approved list additional costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not previously sought membership they should do so.

Completed the sale of my flat in Helmsley last May but our buyer keeps e-mailing me complaining that their conveyancer needs to hear from mine. What should have happened now that I have sold?
Following your disposal your conveyancer is committed to send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. If applicable, your solicitor should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been discharged to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks unique to conveyancing in Helmsley.
My wife and I are planning on selling our house in Helmsley and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Helmsley. Having lived in Helmsley for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to 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 ailment)
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property can not be found. The solicitors who handled the conveyancing in Helmsley 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?
Gone are the days when you need to have the physical official documentation to prove you are the registered proprietor of land or premises, given that the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
