I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I require this when acquiring a property in Axminster? or I am told that there is historic law that means some house owners residing in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards repairs to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this applicable for conveyancing in Axminster?
Unless a previous purchase of the property took place post 12 October 2013 you may expect solicitors conducting conveyancing in Axminster to remain encouraging a chancel search and or chancel repair liability policy.
Have purchased a a terraced house in Axminster , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Axminster conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my name is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Axminster registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Axminster. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Axminster - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

New build sellers have put forward a property lawyer and I've sought a quote from them. They are nearly three hundred pounds less expensive than my family Axminster conveyancing practitioner. What's the catch?
Housebuilders frequently have panels of solicitors who expedite matters and who know the developer’s paperwork and conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to choose a preferred conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a developer won't suggest a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they need an exchange within a tight deadline. The argument for not agreeing to use the recommended solicitor is that they may be hesitant to fight for your interests for fear of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should stick with your high street Axminster conveyancing practitioner.
