We expect to receive a DIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Kettering solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Kettering solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
It is unclear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Kettering bank branch on numerous occasions and was reassured it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Kettering conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- called and was told they refuse to lend in accordance with their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the solicitor is on the lender approved list, they must follow the CML Handbook conditions for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
I am downsizing from our home in Kettering and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Kettering. Having lived in Kettering for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You should enquire of 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Kettering ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor has said that some banks tend not grant a mortgage on such a home.
