I am considering applying for a Clydesdale mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Bodfari with 60% LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Clydesdale ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Clydesdale will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with two solicitors involved, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
The deeds to my home can not be found. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Bodfari 4 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?
Gone are the days when you need to hold title official documentation to evidence that you are the owner of your registered land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Bodfari. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

Back In 2005, I bought a leasehold house in Bodfari. Conveyancing and Nationwide Building Society mortgage went though with no issue.

The conveyancing practitioner in Bodfari who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the new freeholder.

You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

With 61 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £18,100 and £20,800 as well as professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
There are plenty of houses in Bodfari on private roads. I am acquiring one such house. Are there any benefits to buying a residence on a private road?
Bodfari conveyancing solicitors will be used to transacting homeson private. Your property lawyer will investigate title to find any rights or liabilities. In many cases there is a residents association that residents make annual contributions for the upkeep of the road. Where there is one, the road will likely be maintained and look better than publicly owned.
