We are planning to acquire a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Hull who is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Hull

Two types of professional can execute conveyancing in Hull namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. Both professionals handle the legal services that you need to complete the sale or purchase of property. Both are duty bound to execute Hull conveyancing to the same standards and guidelines so you can be sure that your conveyancing will be professionally carried out and that the necessary procedures will be accurately followed.

My conveyancer has informed me that breach of easement insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Hull conveyancing?

The right level of breach of easement indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Yorkshire Building Society and Leeds Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with UBS. I assume I don't need a Hull property lawyer on the UBS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your UBS 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 UBS mortgage from the register. UBS, 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:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where UBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. UBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Hull. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Hull

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we use their recommended solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Hull

It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your own,trusted Hull conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.
