We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would prefer to use a Kirkdale based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that give you one of their panel conveyancers if you take up the "fee-free" incentive. Call the mortgage company and check if they make available a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Kirkdale.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Kirkdale?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Kirkdale. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Kirkdale. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Kirkdale - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
