Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Keighley is more expensive?
Keighley leasehold properties involve far more paperwork than a freehold purchase, and therefore takes more time to examine and advise upon.Conveyancing will involve the lease having to be checked which is usually a lengthy document, queries raised to ensure that the covenants and conditions have been observed. If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.
I am helping my mother sell her house in Keighley. Will the conveyancing solicitor commission the energy performance certificate or should I organise this?
After the demise of Home Information Packs, EPC’s became a mandatory part of selling a house. An energy performance certificate needs to be commissioned prior to the property being advertised. This is not a task that lawyers ordinarily organise. If you are instructing a Keighley conveyancing lawyer they may be able to arrange energy assessments given their contacts with long established Keighley energy assessors
Can you help - my lawyer advises that lack of building regulations insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Keighley conveyancing?

I have paid off my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Keighley lawyer on the Aldermore panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Aldermore mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I have been told that property searches are the primary cause of stalling in Keighley conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Keighley.
