What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Gorleston

Two types of professional can execute conveyancing in Gorleston namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors.

I'm the only recipient of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Gorleston. The Gorleston property was put into my name in November. I plan to dispose of the property. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my property ownership may be considered the same way as if I'd bought the property in November. Will no one buy the property for half a year?

The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be impacted by that. Some mortgage companies would take a pragmatic view as this clause is chiefly there to capture the purchase and immediately sell or the flipping of properties.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Gorleston. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Gorleston

    Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? 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. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

I am purchasing a garden maisonette in Gorleston. Conveyancing lawyer has been waiting for, from the owner, building insurance schedule. This afternoon I was advised that the vendor must forward the insurance schedule for the flat above also. Why does my solicitor want to check the insurance for the flat above? Is it really necessary? We have been in hold for the last two weeks…

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Gorleston to find Conveyancing in Gorleston in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the tenant's to insure their individual flats as opposed to the landlord insuring the complete block - which is clearly preferable. Do clarify with your property lawyer but it would seem that your property lawyer is attempting to verify that the whole building is insured. Insuring a ground floor residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reinstated for lack of insurance cover.
