Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kirkdale

Do the conveyancing lawyers Indexed on your site conduct auction conveyancing in Kirkdale?

We know of a number of niche solicitors we can put you in touch with those conducting auction conveyancing. Kirkdale is one of hundreds of locations where our lawyers have offices.

Do lawyers ask for money on account when it comes to conveyancing in Kirkdale?

If you are buying a property in Kirkdale your solicitor will ask you put them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. When the down payment is as part of the purchase price then this will be asked for shortly before contracts are exchanged. Any further balance that is due should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.

My property lawyer in Kirkdale has never been on on the Nationwide Building Society Approved Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my family solicitor notwithstanding that they are excluded from the Nationwide Building Society panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

Your options are as follows:

  1. Complete the purchase with your existing Kirkdale lawyers but Nationwide Building Society will need to retain a solicitor on their list of acceptable firms. This will result in additional overall conveyancing charges and result in delays.
  2. Get an alternative practitioner to act in the conveyancing, obviously checking they are on the Nationwide Building Society panel

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Kirkdale. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Kirkdale?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

We are purchasing a victorian detached house in Kirkdale. The intention is to an extension at the rear at the house.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to determine if these alterations are permitted?

Your property lawyer should review the deeds as conveyancing in Kirkdale can occasionally reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit categories of alterations or require the consent of another owner. Some additions need local authority planning permissions and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Kirkdale. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Coventry BS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Coventry BS your lawyer must check the formal instructions set out in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Coventry BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Coventry BS where a lease does not meet these provisions. The provisions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not limited to Kirkdale.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Kirkdale is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Kirkdale are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kirkdale you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kirkdale may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Kirkdale and how can your lawyers assist?

The particular law that you refer to gives security of tenure to commercial leaseholders, granting the legal entitlement to apply to court for a renewal tenancy and continue in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
