As someone not used to conveyancing in Balby what is the number one tip you can give me concerning the legal transfer of property in Balby
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Balby and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for friction between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, property agent and on occasion the lender. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Balby should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose responsibility is to look after your best interests and to protect you.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. As an example, the property agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
I purchased my apartment on 10 March and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Balby said it should be formalised inside ten days. Are properties in Balby particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Balby registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Balby. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Balby

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please supply a car parking plan. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Balby I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Balby in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
I was pointed in your direction by numerous selling agents in Balby to get a quote from a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to recommend your services rather than another?
We don’t offer any commission for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my uncle I am disposing of a residence in Cardiff but I am based in Balby. My solicitor (based 235 kilometers awayrequires that I execute a statutory declaration prior to completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Balby to witness this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you are not likely to be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or qualified solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are located in Balby
