Some advice if I may. My Kirkstall solicitor is assuring me that he is legally obliged toapply for Kirkstall conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Santanderapproved lawyer panel. Is my lawyer correct?

You have limited options available to you. As you are obtaining a home loan with a bank your conveyancer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your conveyancing practitioner would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Kirkstall conveyancing searches.

Do I find a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Kirkstall?

There are two types of lawyers who can execute conveyancing in Kirkstall namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. Both professionals provide conveyancing services that you need to complete the disposal or acquisition of property. Both are required to carry out Kirkstall conveyancing on similar standards and guidelines so you can be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be properly carried out and that all requisite procedures will be accurately taken.

I am expecting a AIP from Co-operative 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 Co-operative recommend any Kirkstall solicitors on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Kirkstall solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Co-operative through the process.

I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Kirkstall on 4/3/2025, valuation was booked 2 days later, all came back fine. Solicitor appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Coventry BS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Coventry BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Various web forums that I have come across warn that are a common reason for hinderance in Kirkstall house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Kirkstall.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Kirkstall I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kirkstall suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
