We were about to retain a conveyancing solicitor in Swinton found by you but stumbled across some other quotes via the web look less expensive – how come?
You can find many firms of conveyancing companies offering at first sight what seems to be very low prices. Our advice is to think twice about how much you respect your own move to want to be penny wise pound foolish concerning the quality of the legal work. Some hide fees deep into the terms of business. The law firms that we put forward for conveyancing in Swinton neverbehave this way.

Given that you have now exchanged you must hire the services of a conveyancing practitioner soon as you are facing a fast approaching a fixed date to complete the purchase.

I am expecting a OIP from Yorkshire BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Yorkshire BS recommend any Swinton solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Swinton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Yorkshire BS through the process.
About to purchase house in Swinton. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Swinton lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Swinton ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks tend not grant a loan on a flying freehold premises.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to let out our Swinton 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Swinton conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Swinton do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
I invested in buying a ground floor flat in Swinton, conveyancing having been completed 3 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable properties in Swinton with a long lease are worth £202,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £60 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2081
With 57 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £28,500 and £33,000 plus legals.
The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
