I plan on acquiring residence in Conisbrough. My Solicitor is not on the bank solicitor list. Am I still permitted to retain my Conisbrough conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the mortgage company panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You have a couple of alternatives available to you here
- Complete the deal with your chosen Conisbrough lawyer but your lender will undoubtedly appoint a conveyancing practitioner on their conveyancing panel. This will result in additional charges together with likely interruption.
- Appoint a new lawyer to act in the purchase, ensuring that they are on the lender conveyancing panel.
- Convince your lawyer to pull out all the stops to join the bank’s panel of solicitors

Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Victorian property in Conisbrough. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Chelsea Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Conisbrough and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.
About to purchase a new build flat in Conisbrough. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Conisbrough
-
Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. 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. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

I have just started marketing my ground floor apartment in Conisbrough.Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon however I have recently had a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as normal because all rents and maintenance charges will be apportionedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
