My stepmother pointed out to me me that in buying a property in Geddington there may be a number of restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external changes to a property. Is this right?

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Geddington off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with UBS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with UBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel.
After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Geddington accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have offered on a property, however it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a high street conveyancing solicitor in Geddington. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with TSB?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Geddington conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the TSB conveyancing panel. Concerning the subsequent stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers would apply for a home loan with TSB and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their property lawyer to proceed with the conveyancing in Geddington.
I own a terraced Georgian property in Geddington. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Skipton Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Skipton Building Society to clarify?
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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Geddington and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who completed the work.
How does conveyancing in Geddington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Geddington come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Geddington typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Geddington or who has acted in the same development.
I was pointed in your direction by two or three local estate agents in Geddington to get a quote from a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your lawyers over alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to give any commission for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
