Where the seller is applying a tight deadline to complete it is advisable to make sure that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local connections and insight. It is even conceivable that they may have handled otherproperties in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Pickering conveyancing firm. Second, double check that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company.

Many Pickering conveyancing practices can not represent certain banks so do check at the outset.

Having invested time reading mumsnet.com for a recommended solicitor in Pickering, many comment that I must use a CQS assured solicitor. What is CQS?

Pickering Conveyancing Quality Scheme practices have been granted accreditation by the law Society CQS was created to establish evidence of quality standards in the home buying process. CQS enables consumers to identify solicitor firms who provide a quality residential conveyancing. Pickering is one of the many areas in England and Wales in which accredited firms are based. The conveyancing scheme requires practices to undergo a strict assessment, compulsory training, self-reporting, random audits and yearly assessments in order to maintain CQS status. It is open only to members of the Law Society who meet the demanding standards set by the scheme and has the support of the Council of Mortgage Lenders.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Pickering and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Pickering lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers used a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Pickering. Having lived in Pickering for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of 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)

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Pickering I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Pickering suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

My wife and I are selling a Pickering ground floor flat left to us ten years ago in 2010. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing experience and, although retired, see no reason not to carry out my own legal work. The purchaser's conveyancing practitioner has informed me that their building society will not allow us to do our own conveyancing insisting the funds to be transferred to a solicitor's bank account.

Lending requirements to solicitors from all mainstream lenders specify that If the seller does not have legal representation the borrower's lawyers should check whether the lender needs to be told so that a decision can be reached as to whether they are prepared to proceed.
