I sincerely hope you can help me. My Kendal lawyer is informing me me that he is legally obliged toconduct Kendal conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the HSBCconveyancing panel. These Kendal searches cost a lot of money can this be avoided?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a mortgage company your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your property lawyer would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Kendal conveyancing searches.
How do I check that the solicitor conducting my conveyancing in Kendal is on the mortgage lender’sapproved panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Virgin Money thus paying £187.00 plus VAT in supplemental conveyancing bill.

Have just purchased a probate house at auction in Kendal. Conveyancing is required. What happens now?
Having exchanged you will need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor quickly as you are facing a tight deadline in which to complete the conveyancing. An auction property should have an associated legal pack. This will include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the legal pack should include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and associated conveyancing paperwork relating to leasehold premises. You must pass this on to the solicitor working for you as soon as possible. You also need to ensure that your finances are organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.

I am expecting a DIP from RBS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do RBS recommend any Kendal solicitors on the RBS conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Kendal solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the RBS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and RBS through the process.
The deeds to our house can not be found. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Kendal 4 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware precisely where to locate all the appropriate paperwork so you can buy or dispose of your house without any difficulty. Where copies can’t be located, your solicitor can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the premises.
What advice can you give us when it comes to appointing a Kendal conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
When appointing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Kendal conveyancing firm) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you talk with several firms including non Kendal conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be helpful:
-
Can they put you in touch with clients in Kendal who can give a testimonial? How familiar is the practice with lease extension legislation?

How many years remain on the lease? On the whole the outlay for major works are not included within maintenance charges, although some managing agents in Kendal ask leaseholders to contribute towards a sinking fund created for the specific purpose of building a fund for larger repairs or maintenance. How is the lease structured?
