I am obtaining a mortgage with Halifax. My intention is to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Glossop. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel exclude conveyancers regulated by the CLC?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We are due to exchange on the purchase of a property in Glossop but as a result of damage from some water damage at the property I have managed to agree reparation from the vendor in the sum of £3k in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Skipton are not allowing this. Why were they notified?
Your lawyer being on the Skipton approved list is duty bound to inform Skipton of any changes to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to disclose the reduction to Skipton then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Skipton and you would have to appoint a new conveyancing practitioner for your conveyancing in Glossop.
We are purchasing a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Glossop who is on the Nottingham solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Glossop. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Glossop
-
If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply a car parking plan. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
Taking into account that I am about to spend £400,000 on a two bedroom apartment in Glossop I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer about mytransaction ahead of instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?
We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer who will be conducting your conveyancing in Glossop.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important individual, not a case reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for residential conveyancing in Glossop should be the figure that you are charged.
I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two apartments in Glossop both have about fifty years unexpired on the leases. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Glossop. The lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this field.
I invested in buying a split level flat in Glossop, conveyancing formalities finalised February 2009. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable properties in Glossop with an extended lease are worth £175,000. The ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2083
With 58 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £23,800 and £27,400 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations.

There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
