We are selling our flat in Gomersal. Does the conveyancing practitioner have to be required to be on the Nottingham conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Nottingham conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their conditions fairly frequently currently.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Gomersal took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 property 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.
How does conveyancing in Gomersal differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Gomersal approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Gomersal usually buy the site, 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 property lawyers 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 Gomersal or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Gomersal I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Gomersal in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

Am in the process of purchasing my 1st home in Gomersal. Conveyancing practitioner already instructed. The broker pointed out that a survey is not needed as the property was only built in 2002.
At the very least you should order a Home Buyer's Report. As the property was built more than a decade ago the property will be without a warranty, so you don't want to take a risk. For a property that age with no signs of problems a Home Buyer's report may be sufficient. They will highlight any apparent problems and recommend additional investigation where appropriate. Where there are any signs of problems obtain a comprehensive Building Survey from the beginning.
