Have just purchased a repossessed house at auction in Bulls Cross. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?
Now that you have exchanged you will need to retain a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you now have a tight a drop dead date to complete the property.

My solicitor has informed me that flying freehold insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Bulls Cross?
The right level of flying freehold indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
I can not work out if my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Bulls Cross building society branch on a couple of occasions and was reassured it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Bulls Cross conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called to say that they would not lend in accordance with their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Your lawyer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two requirements for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Bulls Cross and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bulls Cross. Having lived in Bulls Cross for 5 years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Bulls Cross. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bulls Cross
-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. 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.

We are hoping to buy a 2 bedroom flatin Bulls Cross with a residential mortgage from a bank. We would like to retain our solicitor in Bulls Cross yet our lender says she’s not approved on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the our lender panel solicitors or stay with our Bulls Cross conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent our mortgage company. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our bank use our Bulls Cross lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage company mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had open panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Bulls Cross : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
