We are buying a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Hucknall who is on the Nottingham approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Nottingham . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Hucknall.
There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Hucknall but how do I know who's good?
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Hucknall conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
I am the sole recipient of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Hucknall. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I now wish to sell up. I do know about the CML six month 'rule', meaning my property ownership could be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in June. Will no one buy the property for half a year?
The CML handbook instructs solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." Technically you might be caught by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the lender as this requirement is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of property.
We have agreed to purchase a house in Hucknall. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Bank of Ireland have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
As you are obtaining a mortgage with Bank of Ireland your lawyer must follow the formal requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Bank of Ireland. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook sets out minimum conditions for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancers are required to report to Bank of Ireland where a lease fails to meet these provisions. The specifications relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Hucknall.
What will a local search inform me regarding the house my wife and I purchasing in Hucknall?

I own a renovated Georgian house in Hucknall. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and HSBC Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Hucknall and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Hucknall ahead of retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor advised that some banks tend not grant a loan on a flying freehold house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Lloyds has different requirements from Nationwide. If you call us we can check with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Hucknall. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Hucknall to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
