We are acquiring our first house. The property lawyer has messagedto ask if we would like to take out additional conveyancing searches. As novices we in the dark as to what's necessary for conveyancing in Kingstanding
The type of Kingstanding conveyancing searches should be dictated entirely on the premises, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your knowledge of the area and risks, your general appetite to risk. What matters is that you properly appreciate what information the searches could provide. You may then decide if you consider that you need that information. Should you be uncertain, ask your solicitor to advise.
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Kingstanding
Two types of professional can do conveyancing in Kingstanding namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. The two can administer the legal services that you need to complete the sale or acquisition of property.

is it true that all Kingstanding solicitor practices on the Co-operative conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Co-operative approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. Some mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel and in such a situation the firms would be regulated by the CLC.
I am expecting a AIP from Leeds Building Society 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 Leeds Building Society recommend any Kingstanding solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Kingstanding solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.
How does conveyancing in Kingstanding differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Kingstanding approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Kingstanding tend to acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Kingstanding or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Kingstanding I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kingstanding for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
