I have been recommended a conveyancing solicitor in Bispham. I I am struggling to find out if they are accepted on the National Westminster Bank approved list of lawyers. Can you assist?
The first thing to do is phone the conveyancer and ask them if they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you should call National Westminster Bank who may be able to confirm.
A colleague suggested that if I am buying in Bispham I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is usually quoted for as part of the standard Bispham conveyancing searches. It is a large report of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing significant information about Bispham around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Bispham Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Bispham.
I bought my house on 10 July and the transaction details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Bispham expressed confidence that it will be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Bispham uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Bispham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any 3rd parties. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am employed by a long established estate agency in Bispham where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Bispham conveyancing solicitors. Could you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
