Me and my partner are purchasing a apartment in Brigg. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we have to deposit money into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?

Intending to buy a flat in Brigg. 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 Skipton 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 Brigg property lawyer is on the Skipton conveyancing panel.

Should my conveyancer be raising questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Brigg.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors dealing with homes in Brigg. There are those who acquire a house in Brigg, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, suitable insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous checks that may be initiated by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better appreciation of the risks in Brigg. The standard property information forms sent to a buyer’s conveyancer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual inquiry of the seller to discover if the property has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past and is not disclosed by the vendor, then a buyer may issue a claim for damages as a result of such an misleading answer. The buyer’s conveyancers should also carry out an environmental search. This should higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations will need to be conducted.
Me and my brother purchased a semi-detached Victorian property in Brigg. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Barclays . I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Brigg and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent informed us that the seller will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's recommended lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Brigg
It is unlikely the owners are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Brigg conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will give their estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Brigg. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Brigg - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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.
