I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel solicitor as I would much rather instruct a Kidlington based conveyancing firm?
You should check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors if you want the "fee-free" incentive. Call the mortgage company to ask if they offer you a monetary alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Kidlington.
Do I choose a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Kidlington?

Both are obliged to perform Kidlington conveyancing on similar standards and guidelines so you may be sure that your conveyancing will be professionally conducted and that all requirements and procedures should be appropriately attended to.
How can we know in advance if a Kidlington conveyancing solicitor on the Aldermore panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Kidlington seeking recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the lawyer handling your transaction.
I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s lender, Kent Reliance are being a right pain. The Kidlington solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Kent Reliance are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
My partner and I are downsizing from our property in Kidlington and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Kidlington. Having lived in Kidlington for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You need to check with 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Kidlington?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Kidlington.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business property in Kidlington and how can you help?
The 1954 Act affords protection to business tenants, giving them the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

As co-executor for the will of my father I am disposing of a house in Monmouth but reside in Kidlington. My solicitor (who is 200 miles from meneeds me to execute a statutory declaration prior to the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing lawyer in Kidlington who can attest and place their company stamp on the document?
