Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Langham

I am in the market for a low cost property lawyer. Do I opt for a national conveyancer rather than a high street Langham conveyancing solicitor?

On the whole conveyancing lawyers in your location will enjoy good connections with your local authority, which can assist with the Langham conveyancing searches that your solicitor will need to carry out. It also helps if they enjoy existing connections with the Local Land Registry Office your area Langham, other property lawyers in the neighbourhood and Langham property agents.

I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (6 years old) in Langham. 95% of the appartments have already been sold. Do I need carry out the local searches for my conveyancing in Langham?

Where you are obtaining a mortgage, your mortgage company will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Langham conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to instruct a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Langham.

I am buying a garden flat in Langham. Can I do my own conveyancing?

Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Langham you will have to appoint a solicitor on your lender's conveyancing panel to look after their interests.

Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Langham.

five months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Langham took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 residence 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.

About to purchase a new build flat in Langham. Conveyancing is daunting 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 conveyancing.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Langham

    There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. 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.

I today become aware that one of the partners of the law firm undertaking the purchase conveyancing in Langham is a relative of the seller. Is this acceptable?

On the basis that there is no conflict of interest this should be fine. Where you are needing a mortgage then the bank may have a say as many mortgage companies have specific requirements on this. For example for Royal Bank of Scotland as of 16/4/2025, the requirements read as follows :

1.15- May your firm act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower?

No, your firm may not act if the person dealing with the transaction or a member of his immediate family is the borrower. However, your firm may act if a separate fee earner or separate partner within the firm acts for us.
