This question may be naive but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a garden flat in Gorleston. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Gorleston?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Gorleston. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
We are getting the release of further monies on our mortgage from UBS as we want to carry out improvements to our house in Gorleston. Do we need to appoint a nearby Gorleston solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
UBS don't usually require firms on their approved list of lawyers to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the UBS conveyancing panel.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in May 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, Coventry BS are being problematic. The Gorleston solicitor who is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is saying indemnity insurance will be fine but Coventry BS are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Coventry BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Coventry BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Coventry BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
We are buying a house and the solicitor has raised the issue of Chancel Repair for which the property may be liable because it falls into the area of such a church. He has recommended insurance. Is this really required for conveyancing in Gorleston
Unless a prior acquisition of the house completed after 12 October 2013 you may expect solicitors handling conveyancing in Gorleston to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
I acquired my house on 12 May and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Gorleston said it would be formalised in less than a month. Are titles in Gorleston particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Gorleston registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

My wife and I may need to let out our Gorleston basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We instructed a Gorleston conveyancing firm in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
A lease governs the relationship between the landlord and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will set out if subletting is prohibited, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. The majority of leases in Gorleston do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a clause would undoubtedly devalue the property. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the tenancy agreement.
