This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a 1st time purchaser of a ground floor flat in Chopwell. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Chopwell?
On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Chopwell. Your solicitors will transfer the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.
How can we tell if a Chopwell conveyancing solicitor on the Clydesdale panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Chopwell getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always suggest that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing.
About to purchase maisonette in Chopwell. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the TSB 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 Chopwell lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel.
I used Action Conveyancing several years ago for my conveyancing in Chopwell. I now require my file but the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Chopwell
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. 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. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Chopwell I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Chopwell suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
Back In 2008, I bought a leasehold house in Chopwell. Conveyancing and Britannia mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing practitioner in Chopwell who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Chopwell conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

What is the name of the managing agents? The best form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this arrangement the leaseholders benefit from being in charge if their destiny and notwithstanding that a managing agent is often employed if it is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. How is the lease structured?
