Are all Kirkby In Furness Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?
Some major lenders now make use of the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

We previously selected solicitors located in Kirkby In Furness on the TSB solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a separate charge for dealing with the TSB mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee specified by TSB?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer can charge a fee for this. The charge is not set by TSB but by your Kirkby In Furness lawyer. Plenty of firms on the TSB panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
I am planning on selling our property in Kirkby In Furness and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Kirkby In Furness conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Kirkby In Furness. We have lived in Kirkby In Furness for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor 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)
How does conveyancing in Kirkby In Furness differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Kirkby In Furness contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in Kirkby In Furness typically purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Kirkby In Furness I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Kirkby In Furness suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
