Can I be sure that the Lake conveyancing solicitor on the Skipton panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Lake seeking recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advocate that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your transaction.
My partner and I are in the process of viewing flats in Lake and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a conveyancer in place at this stage? I am planning to take a home loan with Kent Reliance.
You should start obtaining conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their contact information on to the estate agent. Given that you are taking out a mortgage with Kent Reliance, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I had an offer accepted on a house in Lake on 26/8/2025, valuation was booked five days later, received a clean bill of health. Conveyancer appointed, so all that was missing 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. Are Coventry BS entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage 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.

I have recentlydiscovered that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Lake for a purchase of a leasehold flat 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make 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 Lake conveyancing specialists.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Lake I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Lake for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. 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. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
