We are planning to acquire a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Carnforth who is on the Virgin Money solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Virgin Money . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Carnforth.
We are downsizing from our property in Carnforth and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Carnforth conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Carnforth. We have lived in Carnforth for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Carnforth 10 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should know exactly where to look for all the appropriate documentation so you may purchase or sell your house without a hitch. Where duplicates are not available, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your property.
I am purchasing my first flat in Carnforth with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not reveal to my lawyer about this side-deal as it will affect my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Planning to sign contracts shortly on a basement flat in Carnforth. Conveyancing lawyers assured me that they report fully on Monday. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

I acquired a studio flat in Carnforth, conveyancing was carried out 8 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Corresponding properties in Carnforth with a long lease are worth £260,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ends on 21st October 2099
With just 74 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
