As I am unsure how the conveyancing bit works what is the most important number one tip you can give me about purchase conveyancing in Holbeach?

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Holbeach and elsewhere in Lincolnshire is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For example, the seller, estate agent and sometimes your lender. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Holbeach an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the transaction whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.

Is it the case that all Holbeach solicitor practices on the Skipton conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Skipton approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the organisation would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

We were going to get a OIP from Leeds Building Society this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Leeds Building Society recommend any Holbeach solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Holbeach solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Leeds Building Society through the process.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Barclays are being problematic. The Holbeach solicitor who is on the Barclays conveyancing panel is happy to accept ‘lack of building regulation’ insurance but Barclays are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Barclays have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that Barclays have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Barclays 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.

Just bought a detached house in Holbeach , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Holbeach conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the land registry aspects are concluded.

As far as conveyancing in Holbeach is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Holbeach with a mortgage from Barclays Direct. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it could impact my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Holbeach I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Holbeach suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
