My apartment in Macclesfield is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will the conveyancer need to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Skipton 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 conditions fairly frequently currently.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the selling agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Macclesfield
We suspect that the owner is not behind this ultimatum. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your preferred Macclesfield conveyancing firm - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a kickback or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
I today plan to offer on a house that seems to be perfect, at a great figure which is making it all the more appealing. I have subsequently discovered that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are issues buying a leasehold house in Macclesfield. Conveyancing solicitors have are about to be appointed. Will my lawyers set out the implications of buying a leasehold house in Macclesfield ?

It is clear that you are purchasing in Macclesfield so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Macclesfield conveyancing solicitor and check that they have experience in dealing with leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a leaseholder you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease will likely included provisions for example requiring the freeholder’spermission to carry out changes to the property. You may also be required to pay a contribution towards the maintenance of the communal areas where the property is part of an estate. Your conveyancer should report to you on the legal implications.
