My home in Tickton is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Will my solicitor need to be required to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Skipton conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.
We are purchasing a detached bungalow in Tickton. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal work on the property involve investigations to ascertain if these works are permitted?
Your property lawyer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Tickton can on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of works or require the consent of another owner. Certain additions require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
I am expecting a AIP from Aldermore this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Tickton solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Tickton solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Tickton agreed to, the vendors do nevertheless have a dependent purchase. The sellers have placed an offer on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other properties booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Tickton. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Nottingham?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Tickton conveyancing search charges, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your property lawyer is on the Nottingham approved list. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much depends on the specifics of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Nottingham and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to proceed with the conveyancing in Tickton.
My friend recommended that if I am purchasing in Tickton I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

How does conveyancing in Tickton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Tickton contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Tickton 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 used to new build conveyancing in Tickton or who has acted in the same development.
