We are purchasing a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Horncastle who is on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. Can you recommend a local 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 Clydesdale . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Horncastle.

I am purchasing a new build house in Horncastle with a loan from Nationwide Building Society. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent told me not to tell my conveyancer about this extras as it would affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
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.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one close by in Horncastle I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Horncastle suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
My father has urged me to instruct his conveyancers in Horncastle. Should I use them?
There are no two ways about it it’s preferable to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to seek guidance from friends or family who have actually experience in using the conveyancer that you are are thinking of instructing.
There are only Fifty years unexpired on my flat in Horncastle. I now wish to get lease extension but my freeholder is missing. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you have used your best endeavours to track down the freeholder. On the whole an enquiry agent should be helpful to conduct investigations and to produce an expert document which can be used as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on proving the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Horncastle.
I inherited a ground floor flat in Horncastle, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Horncastle with over 90 years remaining are worth £185,000. The ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease ends on 21st October 2085
With only 61 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to range between £19,000 and £22,000 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
