In such cases, this information will not be included in a local authority search, making an environmental search a necessity. Efforts to clean up contamination can be costly.

Qualifying for stamp duty relief in Bradford

The government has designated certain areas as 'disadvantaged areas' and property purchases in such areas may qualify for relief from stamp duty. In England and Wales, they are based on electoral wards. These wards do not always coincide with postcode districts, so the postcode search tool cannot always be relied on. If a search does not confirm whether am property is in a disadvantaged area, your solicitor should contact the local authority. A postcode search is worth undertaking to determine whether a residence under the £150k threshold is in a Disadvantaged area.

Disadvantaged areas in Bradford include Eccleshill, Little Horton, Bradford Moor, Great Horton, Toller.

My solicitor is not on my Lender's panel - what do I do?

Lenders maintain panels of law firms to perform mortgage legal work. While these panels were once open, allowing any firm to join, that is no longer the case. Recently, lenders have changed the criteria for the firms which they will accept on their panels. They have also reduced the size of their panels, removing firms which do not carry out much Conveyancing work or which they consider to have proved unsatisfactory in the past. If your Bradford conveyancing solicitor is not on your preferred lender's panel, then the lender will not instruct that firm to act in connection with the mortgage. You then have a choice:

  • Instruct another firm who is on your lender's panel, or,
  • Find a mortgage from a different lender

You could also choose to work with your current solicitor, but you will have to pay the lender's costs in addition to your own, as they will instruct a member of their panel. Consider these points if you choose to change firms:

  • Additional fees may be charged by the new firm which your original lawyers considered to be inclusive.
  • Your second choice of firm may have less local knowledge, or be harder to meet in person.
