I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Lamorbey for our home move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Skipton Building Society won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

A decade ago most mortgage companies had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Lamorbey conveyancing firms would have been on most bank panels. The FSA in 2010 completed a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, mortgage companies have regularly sought more data from law firms about their operations and their employees as well as establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum amount of conveyancing. Many Lamorbey conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Lamorbey is one of the many locations where the solicitors showing on our search results are are authorised to act for Skipton Building Society.

I'm the sole recipient of my late father’s estate with all property in now in my sole name, including the house in Lamorbey. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in February. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be regarded the same way as if I'd bought the property in February. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you could be affected by that. Some mortgage companies would take a practical view as this obligation is chiefly there to identify subsales or the flipping of properties.

I am purchasing a property in Lamorbey. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Principality be concerned?

Given that your lender is Principality your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions contained in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Principality. The CML Handbook contains minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Principality where a lease fails to satisfy these provisions. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Lamorbey.

Coventry BS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a property in Lamorbey has been accepted, what happens next?

The property agent will wish to be informed of your property lawyer's details (ensure that the conveyancers are on the lender’s approved list). Call up Coventry BS or the broker and finalise any appropriate forms. Coventry BS will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or owners to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Coventry BS will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Lamorbey.

My wife and I are intent on selling our home in Lamorbey and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Lamorbey lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Lamorbey. We have lived in Lamorbey for 4 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 illness)

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Lamorbey I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Lamorbey suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

The loan agreement from a mortgage company for the refinancing of my 3 bedroom maisonette is expected imminently. Can you suggest a cheap remortgage conveyancing lawyer in Lamorbey ?
