In the event that the seller is applying a tight deadline to complete it is advisable to make sure that your lawyer is familiar with the location as they will have local relationships and know-how. It is possible that they could have conducted otherhomes in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Morley conveyancing firm. In addition, be sure that the lawyer is on the member panel.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Morley. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender TSB be concerned?

Given that your lender is TSB your lawyer must follow the formal requirements contained in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for TSB. The CML Handbook sets out minimum requirements for solar panel roof-space leases, and property lawyers are required to report to TSB where a lease fails to satisfy these specifications. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Morley.

We expect to receive a AIP from Skipton this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Skipton recommend any Morley solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Morley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Skipton conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Skipton through the process.

It is unclear whether my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Morley building society branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they would lend. My Morley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their specific requirements. Who do I believe?

The conveyancer must comply with the CML Handbook Part 2 conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.

We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the property agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we use the agent's chosen solicitors as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Morley

We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. Should the vendor require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your preferred Morley conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will provide their estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Morley conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?

When appointing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Morley conveyancing practice) it is imperative that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you speak with several firms including non Morley conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be helpful:

    What are the charges for lease extension conveyancing? Can they put you in touch with clients in Morley who can give a testimonial?
