My IFA says he needs my Knottingley lawyer’ panel reference for the Lloyds conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have tried my local Knottingley office but they have not got back to me yet.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Knottingley solicitor . They maintain a central record lender panel numbers.
I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and must vacate my let out property in Knottingley by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Can I complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to provide notice for your lease unless exchange of contracts has taken place. If you have not previously done so, speak to your solicitor and urge them to they chase the owners lawyers, try to a target completion date that everyone will look towards
I have 7378 less than 75 years unexpired on my lease and require a lease extension for my apartment in Knottingley. Conveyancing solicitors on the Tesco Bank panel can deal with such extensions correct?

I am selling our home in Knottingley and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Knottingley. Having lived in Knottingley for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Knottingley completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 premises 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.
Is there a reason that Knottingley conveyancing charges differ for leasehold and freehold properties?
Leasehold conveyancing in Knottingley more often than not will involve additional work such as reviewing the lease, corresponding with the landlord, obtaining up to date rent receipts, landlord’s consents, management company’s accounts etc.
