I am hoping to receive a mortgage with Halifax. I hope to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Scunthorpe. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers?

The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I am planning to acquire a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Scunthorpe who is on the Aldermore approved. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Aldermore in certain locations such as Scunthorpe. We dont recommend any particular firm.

My friend suggested that if I am purchasing in Scunthorpe I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

A search of this type is sometimes quoted for as part of the standard Scunthorpe conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of about 40 pages, listing and detailing important information about Scunthorpe around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Scunthorpe Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Scunthorpe.

Are there any apps to assist me to search for a Scunthorpe law firm on the Accord Mortgages Ltd conveyancing panel? I am a keen cyclist and am willing to travel upto 20miles to meet the conveyancer.

Feel free to make use of the search on this website. Please select a mortgage company and your location and you will see a number of Scunthorpe conveyancing lawyers based on proximity. We have listed some Scunthorpe conveyancing firms towards the end of this page and you can telephone them to verify if they are on the Accord Mortgages Ltd panel

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Scunthorpe. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is registered - and most are in Scunthorpe - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.

I am the registered owner of a 1st floor flat in Scunthorpe, conveyancing having been completed January 1997. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Scunthorpe with over 90 years remaining are worth £176,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease expires on 21st October 2075

With just 50 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £31,400 and £36,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
