I am under pressure from the seller of a property in Leamouth to complete within four weeks. What can be done to hasten the buying process?
First, If you are under pressure to sign contracts we would recommend that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will have local connections and know-how. It is possible that they would have conducted previoushouses in the same street. Therefore consider using a Leamouth conveyancing firm. In addition, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is claimed that nearly one in five of Leamouth conveyancing deals are frustrated or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s lawyer was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the transaction being delayed by almost three weeks. It is estimated that this issue affects in the region of one hundred thousand home sales every year. Most Leamouth conveyancing practices can not act for certain lenders so do check at the outset.

I have todaybecome aware that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Leamouth for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest way to check if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Leamouth conveyancing specialists.
I have been pointed in your direction by two or three local selling agents in Leamouth to select a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your lawyers rather than another?
We don’t give any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
I am looking at a two maisonettes in Leamouth which have approximately forty five years left on the lease term. should I be concerned?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As a lease shortens the marketability of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more costly to extend the lease. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.

There are a number of properties in Leamouth on unadopted roads. We are buying such a house. Are there any advantages to purchasing a house on a private road?
Leamouth conveyancing solicitors will be familiar with transacting propertieson unadopted roads. Your conveyancing practitioner should investigate title to find any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that proprietors pay into for the upkeep of the road. If one exists, the road will likely be maintained and look better than publicly maintained.
