I do hope you can assist me. My Arnside solicitor is advising me that he is legally obliged toconduct Arnside conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Nat Westconveyancing panel. Do I not have any options here?

You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a mortgage with a lender your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the UK Finance Conveyancing Handbook.

I just bought a property at auction in Arnside. Conveyancing is needed. What happens now?

Now that you have to in every practical sense signed on the dotted line you must find a conveyancing lawyer soon as you now have a fast approaching deadline in which to complete the deal. All auction property should have a bespoke legal set of papers. This should include most,if not all of the documents that your lawyer will need. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the conveyancing pack should contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork pertinent to leasehold premises. You must hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor at the earliest opportunity. Do make sure that that you have the requisite funding in order to complete on the on the contractual date .

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Arnside. Do I collect the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Arnside?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Arnside.

We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Clydesdale as we intend to carry out improvements to our home in Arnside. Do we need to select a nearby Arnside solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

Clydesdale do not ordinarily require a member of their approved list of lawyers to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel.

I have a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Arnside. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Accord Mortgages Ltd to clarify?

You need to review 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 owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Arnside and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Arnside I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Arnside suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

I am buying a house with all finances in place. I have provided conveyancer with two separate proof of photographic ID, bank statement, endless utility bills. Now he wants a copy from a probate lawyer advising that the funds are in place and that it has come from inheritance and not via illegitimate means.

For some years now requires conveyancing solicitors as well as banks, building societies and other financial institutes to obtain satisfactory evidence of the identity of the client. This is because solicitors who deal with money and property on behalf of their clients can be used by criminals wishing to launder money. In order to comply with the law of money laundering, your Arnside conveyancing lawyer will need to obtain evidence of your identity as as well as make sure that your funds are legitimate.
