We selected a Yeadon based solicitor for our conveyancing in Yeadon recently. Going through the small print I notewe are liable for charges even if the sale aborts. Should I ditch them and appoint an internet conveyancing brokerage who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Yeadon?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be higher to cover the transactions that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that these arrangements rarely cover disbursements by way of example Yeadon conveyancing search costs.

I have been told that property searches are the main reason for hinderance in Yeadon conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Yeadon.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Yeadon I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Yeadon for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for residential conveyancing in Yeadon. I've chance upon a web site which seems to have the perfect offering If there is a chance to get all formalities completed via email that would be preferable. Should I be concerned? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

My conveyancer in Yeadon is asking me for proof of ID documents asserting that this is part of his requirements as a conveyancer on the mortgage company Conveyancing panel. Can this be correct?

Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules require Yeadon conveyancing solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the identity of the person or body they are dealing with before they can accept their conveyancing business. The Client Care letter that you need to sign will no doubt confirm this. Your lawyer is right that the mortgage company also require certain documents to be viewed. If a you refuse to provide ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the bank's UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements
