We are selling our flat in Knaresborough. Does my conveyancing practitioner need to be required to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently at the moment.
I have todaybeen informed that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Knaresborough for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Knaresborough conveyancing specialists.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Knaresborough I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Knaresborough suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
As co-executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a house in Monmouth but reside in Knaresborough.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Knaresborough. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Knaresborough - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
