Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Knottingley

Is it possible for conveyancing in Knottingley to be concluded in under 10 days?

First, If you are under pressure for your conveyancing it is advisable to make sure that your solicitor is familiar with the location as they will make use of local relationships and knowledge. It is even conceivable that they may have handled previoushouses in the same street. Therefore consider using a Knottingley conveyancing lawyer. Second, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is estimated that 18% of Knottingley conveyancing deals are held up or jeopardised after discovering a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the conveyancing being held up by as much as 21 days. It is claimed that this issue impacts in the region of 100,000 home sales annually. Almost all Knottingley conveyancing practices can not represent certain mortgage companies so do check as early as possible.

We note that you have a search directory identifying solicitors on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I appoint them for our conveyancing in Knottingley?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Knottingley.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Knottingley and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Knottingley. We have lived in Knottingley for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You must 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 ailment)

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Knottingley is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Knottingley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Knottingley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Knottingley may decide 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.

My business partner and I are planning to lease a unit on a shopping parade. Can you recommend conveyancers offering no-move-no charges for commercial conveyancing in Knottingley for less than 2k?

We can recommend firms who host a wealth of experience of commercial conveyancing in Knottingley, including the sale and purchase of businesses as well as simply property. If you are intending to buy or lease a shop, pub, restaurant, office, retail premises or a complete business we can put you in touch with the right lawyer. As for the charges these will vary based on the structure and complexity of the proposed transaction. Please provide us with your contact information or call us so that we may supply you with comprehensive commercial conveyancing calculation.

I need to swap lawyers as my Knottingley lawyer is not on the mortgage company's approved list of conveyancing solicitors. How simple is it to change conveyancer?

In the event that you have not formally instructed a conveyancer to commence the conveyancing and at this stage simply received an estimate as to costs, you're perfectly free to choose a different solicitor to carry out your work for you. The best way is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the solicitor or conveyancer in Knottingley that you're considering.
