I am hoping to receive a mortgage with Halifax. I hope to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Grantham. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the CML or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

We note that you have a search directory identifying solicitors on the UBS conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I instruct them for our own conveyancing in Grantham?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the UBS conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Grantham.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Grantham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Grantham. Having lived in Grantham for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must 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)

I am buying a new build apartment in Grantham. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Grantham

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

Is it possible to switch solicitor as I need to instruct a firm on the Halifax conveyancing list. I had appointed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Grantham five minutes from me but he is not approved by Halifax
