I am assisting my niece sell her flat in Skellingthorpe. Will the conveyancing solicitor arrange an energy assessment or do I organise this?
Following the demise of HIPs, energy performance certificates was maintained a compulsory part of selling a property. An energy assessment should be commissioned before the property is put on the market. This is not a task that solicitors ordinarily arrange. If you are using a Skellingthorpe conveyancing practitioner they may be able to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with long established local energy assessors
My partner and I are at the point of looking at apartments in Skellingthorpe and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I will be getting a home loan with Principality.
You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the selling agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Principality, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Principality conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
Our offer on a semi in Skellingthorpe has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have put an offer on somewhere, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Skellingthorpe. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Skipton?
It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Skellingthorpe conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your conveyancer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market many home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Skipton and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their solicitor to press on with searches.
I decided to have a survey done on a house in Skellingthorpe before retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders may refuse to grant a mortgage on such a premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Skellingthorpe.

Given that I am about to spend hundreds of thousands of pounds on 3 bedroom house in Skellingthorpe I wish to talk to a conveyancer regarding thehome move prior to appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?
We could not agree more - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer due to be doing your property ownership legalities in Skellingthorpe.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important person, not a file number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Skellingthorpe should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the lender conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the lender solicitor panel.
