We were going to get a OIP from Santander this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Santander recommend any Kirkheaton solicitors on the Santander conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Kirkheaton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Santander conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Santander through the process.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Kirkheaton off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Aldermore. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Kirkheaton. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.

I acquired my home on 1 November and my personal details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Kirkheaton said it would be dealt with in less than a month. Are titles in Kirkheaton particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Kirkheaton registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the property thus registration formalities is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Kirkheaton. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Kirkheaton - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
