I am assisting my niece sell her property in Bulkington. Does the conveyancing solicitor order an EPC or should I organise this?
Following the demise of Home Packs, EPC’s was kept a mandatory component of selling a house. An EPC should be commissioned before the property is put on the market. This is not something that conveyancers ordinarily arrange. Where you are using a Bulkington conveyancing solicitor they might be able to arrange energy performance certificates due to their contacts with reputable Bulkington energy assessors
I have paid off my mortgage with Yorkshire BS. I assume I don't need a Bulkington conveyancer on the Yorkshire BS panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Yorkshire BS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Yorkshire BS mortgage from the register. Yorkshire BS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Yorkshire BS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Yorkshire BS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nationwide. Is it usual for Nationwide to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Bulkington is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nationwide have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Bulkington , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Bulkington conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Bulkington registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the premises so 'speed' is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Bulkington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Bulkington contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Bulkington typically buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Bulkington or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking at a two maisonettes in Bulkington which have approximately 50 years left on the leases. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the value of the lease decreases and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.

My husband and I have today had a bid accepted on our first house in Bulkington, and are now looking to get solicitors appointed. We have used the various rating based websites and the results are from all across the country. Is it important to have a Bulkington conveyancer local to the prospective new home? We are content to do everything over the web, but I assume at some stage we may be required to physically go into the lawyer's office to sign documents?
There is no need to physically visit the office of your conveyancing practitioner, they can send any relevant papers to you, which you can sign and send back. Many home movers prefer to use a locally based solicitor, but it is not a prerequisite for conveyancing in Bulkington.
