Are the BSA intent on creating a search tool with a view to to identify law firms on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel for example in Burbage?
We have not been informed any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a search facility.
three months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Burbage concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Burbage I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Burbage suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
I am selling my house. My previous conveyancers have shut. I would be grateful for any recommendation of a conveyancing firm. I happen to live in Burbage if that makes a difference.

Can you offer any advice when it comes to finding a Burbage conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?
When appointing a conveyancer for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Burbage conveyancing firm) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you speak with several firms including non Burbage conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions could be of use:
-
Can they put you in touch with clients in Burbage who can give a testimonial? What are the costs for lease extension work?

-
Is there a share of the freehold? It would be a good idea to discover if there is anything that is prohibited in the lease. For instance it is fairly common in Burbage leases that pets are not permitted in certain buildings in Burbage. If you love the flatin Burbage but your dog is not allowed to move with you then you have a very difficult compromise. How much is the ground rent and service charge?
I have miscalculated my finances and am a couple of grand short a 10% deposit on my flat purchase in Burbage , but I still want to proceed. Do I have options?
You can agree a smaller deposit. Many sellers will accept a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.
You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
