Finally the sale completed on my house in Beeston last March yet the purchaser is calling me to moan that his lawyer needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?

Where appropriate, your solicitor should also evidence that the mortgage has been discharged to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion steps specific conveyancing in Beeston.
We are getting the release of further funds on our mortgage from Co-operative as we wish to carry out a loft conversion to our house in Beeston. Are we obliged to choose a local Beeston solicitor on the Co-operative conveyancing panel to handle the legals?
Co-operative don't usually require firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Co-operative list.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Coventry BS are being difficult. The Beeston solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Coventry BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
About to purchase house in Beeston. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Beeston solicitor is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Beeston took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Beeston is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Beeston are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Beeston you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Beeston may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
My step-father has recommend that I appoint his conveyancers in Beeston. Should I use them?
No doubt the ideal way to select a conveyancing solicitor is to get feedback from friends or relatives who have previously instructed the conveyancer that you are considering.
