I am expecting a mortgage offer from Halifax. I hope to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Barrow upon Humber. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel exclude Licensed Conveyancers?

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Barrow upon Humber? Is this really warranted?

The Client Care letter that you need to sign will no doubt reaffirm this. Your lender will also require certain documents to be checked. Where you are unwilling to provide ID verification documents, your solicitor can not take you on as a client.

My offer on a detached house in Barrow upon Humber has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on a flat, however it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Barrow upon Humber. What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with Clydesdale going?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Barrow upon Humber conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to check that your lawyer is on the Clydesdale approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many purchasers would apply for the mortgage with Clydesdale and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their solicitor to move forward with searches.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Barrow upon Humber I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Barrow upon Humber suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
