My fiancee and I are acquiring our first house. The conveyancer has messagedto check if we would like to take out supplemental conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's relevant for conveyancing in Moor Row

The scope of Moor Row conveyancing searches should be dictated primarily on the property, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your knowledge of the region and risks, your overall approach to risk. What matters is that you adequately understand what information the searches could provide. You may then make a decision if you consider that you need that information. If unclear, ask your solicitor to explain.

How can we know in advance if a Moor Row conveyancing solicitor on the Skipton panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Moor Row seeking recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer handling your conveyancing.

Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Moor Row. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Moor Row lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Moor Row on 12/12/2025, valuation was booked 3 days later, all came back fine. Solicitor instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Aldermore and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Are Aldermore entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Aldermore to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Moor Row. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Barclays . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Moor Row and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
