I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would prefer to appoint a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Dalton in Furness?
You should check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel lawyers should you want the "fee-free" incentive. Call the mortgage company and explore if they offer you a cash alternative. Some banks have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Dalton in Furness.
My wife and I buying a 3 bedroom semi in Dalton in Furness. We would like to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will legal work on the property include enquiries to see if these works are allowed?
Your property lawyer should review the registered title as conveyancing in Dalton in Furness will on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain changes or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Some extensions require local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I'm the single beneficiary of my late mum's estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Dalton in Furness. The Dalton in Furness property was put into my name in June. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the house in June. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?
The CML handbook mandates solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be caught by that. Some banks would take a pragmatic view as this provision is chiefly there to pick up on the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of property.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Dalton in Furness on 10/6/2025, valuation was booked 2 days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer instructed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nottingham and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nottingham to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Dalton in Furness. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Dalton in Furness - 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.
