We are planning to acquire a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Kirkheaton who is on the RBS solicitor panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for RBS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Kirkheaton.
My Solicitor in Kirkheaton has never been on on the Aldermore Conveyancing Panel. Is it possible for me to use my family solicitor even though they are excluded from the Aldermore panel?
The limited options open to you here include:
- Carry on with your preferred Kirkheaton solicitors but Aldermore will need to retain a conveyancer on their panel. This will inevitably rack up the overall legal fees as well as cause frustration.
- Find a new solicitor to act in the conveyancing, remembering to check they are Persuade your lawyer to do everything within their powers to join the Aldermore conveyancing panel
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Kirkheaton I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Kirkheaton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
As co-executor for the will of my uncle I am disposing of a residence in Swansea but live in Kirkheaton. My solicitor (who is 300 miles awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec prior to the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Kirkheaton who can attest this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you should not be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are based in Kirkheaton
I see that you have a post code search directory listing solicitors on the lender conveyancing panel. Do Kirkheaton conveyancing companies pay you a referral fee if I instruct them for my own house purchase?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the bank conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to the any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Kirkheaton.
