I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (seven years built) in Kirkby. 95% of the properties have already been disposed of. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Kirkby?
If you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a mortgage, your mortgage company will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Kirkby conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your lawyer, will 'advise', perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Kirkby.

This question may be naive but I am new to the home buying as a 1st time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Kirkby. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Kirkby?

I can not work out if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Kirkby bank branch on numerous occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Kirkby conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend based on their specific requirements. I have no idea who is right.
As long as the lawyer is on the lender approved list, she or he must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook requirements for the bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
