After what seems like an age a mortgage agreement from NatWest for the remortgage of my single bedroom flat is due any day now. Could you recommend a cheap conveyancing practitioner in Leicester?
This site is not designed to assist those in pursuit of cut-price fees for conveyancing in Leicester. We can offer you excellent value conveyancing but we do not work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be swayed by companies offering £100 conveyancing in Leicester. At best, in going for low cost conveyancing, you will end up with what you pay for and at worst it will result in you with a surprising uplift in additional fees and still not get the service required.
We are selling our home in Leicester. Will the conveyancer need to be on the HSBC conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the HSBC conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.
Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that could affect a commercial land in Leicester?
Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Leicester will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Leicester. The report sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Leicester.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Leicester it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately could cause delays to Leicester commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not ordered for residential conveyancing in Leicester.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Leicester. 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 conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Leicester

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Please supply a car parking plan. 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.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Leicester ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies may refuse to give a mortgage on this type of premises.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different instructions for example to Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Leicester. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
My husband and I are FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the agent advised that the owners will only issue a contract if we use their recommended conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer used to conveyancing in Leicester
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Leicester conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will give their estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.
