When scouring online forums for a recommended solicitor in Kendal, most say that I should look for a CQS accredited solicitor. Can you explain what CQS is?
The Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) provides a kitemark for residential conveyancing practices issued by the Law Society. Membership achievement establishes a level of credibility for member firms with stakeholders (regulators, lenders, insurers and consumers) based upon: * the integrity of the senior responsible officer and other key conveyancing staff * the firm's adherence to good practice management standards * adherence to prudent and efficient conveyancing processes via the scheme protocol It includes numerous companies who execute conveyancing in Kendal.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Kendal I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Kendal in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term 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 owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Kendal
We suspect that the seller is not behind this requirement. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your preferred Kendal conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn their estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by senior management.
My wife and I accepted an offer on a Kendal flat left to us ten years ago in 2009. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing knowledge and, now retired, see no reason not to undertake my own conveyancing. The buyer's property lawyer has informed me that their building society will not allow you to do your own conveyancing as they require the funds to be released via a solicitor's bank account.
Lending instructions to solicitors from all mainstream lenders specify that If the seller does not have legal representation the borrower's lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be informed so that a decision can be reached if they are prepared to move forward.
