My fiance’s uncle is a conveyancing practitioner. I suspect that I will receive preferential fee for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what kind of figure would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Bacup?

Is it the case that all Bacup solicitor practices on the Skipton conveyancing panel are regulated by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such organisation would be governed by the CLC.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Aldermore. Bacup conveyancing practitioners were chosen. How long does it take for Aldermore to forward the offer to the lawyer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Aldermore completed the valuation? Have you informed Aldermore as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I currently have a mortgage with Santander for my property in Bacup. Conveyancing was finalised months ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Santander?
Santander must be informed of your intention prior to letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Santander’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Santander directly. You need not do this via a Santander conveyancing panel firm.
I need some expedited conveyancing in Bacup as I have an ultimatum to sign on the dotted line inside 2 weeks. A mortgage is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

Me and my brother purchased a terraced Edwardian house in Bacup. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Birmingham Midshires. 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 address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Bacup 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 lenders. You can also question the position with your conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.

Please supply a car parking plan. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
Do I need to be concerned about estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a local Bacup conveyancing firm?
As with many professional services, often recommendations from connections can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are many people with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may recommend conveyancers to retain. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to select your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that most mortgage providers have an approved list of solicitors you must use for the mortgage related work in your home move.
