I acquired my apartment on 9 January and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Colerne said it would be dealt with inside ten days. Are titles in Colerne uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Colerne registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not always an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am buying my first flat in Colerne with the aid of help to buy. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it may affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Colerne is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Colerne are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Colerne you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Colerne may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
My father has recommend that I appoint his conveyancers in Colerne. Should I choose my own conveyancer?

What makes a Colerne lease problematic?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Colerne. All leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain sections are erroneous. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall A duty to insure the building
A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Halifax, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, and Barclays Direct all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
