AssumingI was to buy a straightforward housein Kirkbymoorside for cash and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Kirkbymoorside?
Any savings you would make will be isolated to the disbursement for searches. The conveyancing practitioner is required to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with the vendors lawyer, SDLT return, register the ownership etc. A slight saving might be made by not having to register a mortgage but it will not be meaningful.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Kirkbymoorside. I need to find out if they are accepted on the Barclays Direct approved list of lawyers. Can you assist?
The first thing to do is contact the solicitor and ask them whether they can act for the lender. Alternatively you should get in touch with Barclays Direct who may be able to help.

How does conveyancing in Kirkbymoorside differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Kirkbymoorside contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Kirkbymoorside 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. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Kirkbymoorside or who has acted in the same development.
I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Kirkbymoorside. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as you normally would because all rents and maintenance charges should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
