We are buying a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Kelsall who is on the Yorkshire BS solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Yorkshire BS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Kelsall.
It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Kelsall concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Should I be concerned that brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a national conveyancing firm rather than a local Kelsall conveyancing firm?
As with lots of professional services, often suggestions from connections can be very helpful. Nevertheless there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may put forward lawyers to choose. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are free to appoint your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some mortgage providers specify a panel list of law firms you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.
We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct their preferred lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Kelsall
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this ultimatum. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Kelsall conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.

We advise that you talk with several firms including non Kelsall conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus.
