Is there a reason to instruct a Whalley conveyancing company when web based conveyancers are so much cheaper?
By all means make sure that you scrutinise conveyancing costs in Whalley and you should seek a reasonable estimate but don’t expend your energy scouring the internet for the cheapest Whalley conveyancer. Locating the right conveyancer can be the distinction between a seamless and a distressing house move. It is important that you ensure that you have expert guidance from a specialist solicitor. An e-mail can never replace a telephone conversation and can never replicate a face to face appointment. The firms that we work with will appoint you a qualified and top rated conveyancing solicitor who can handle your conveyancing from from the outset to completion, providing a level of continuity that you rarely receive from an web based conveyancer. Our lawyers will inform you on progress and keep you informed. If you ever need to contact the firm you will know who to ask for and we'll be sure you are kept fully informed.
Our lawyer has discovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are buying in Whalley. The other side have suggested defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our property lawyer has advised that he must be satisfied that the mortgage company is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their conditions for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the lender are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Kent Reliance Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Whalley?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Whalley I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Whalley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
