Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Leominster

At what point will exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Leominster and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?

Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Leominster you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Leominster)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Me and my brother have a semi-detached Victorian house in Leominster. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Nationwide Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking Nationwide Building Society to clarify?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Leominster and other areas of 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 mortgage companies. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.

How does conveyancing in Leominster differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Leominster approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Leominster tend to purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Leominster or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Leominster is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Leominster are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Leominster you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Leominster may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

My partner has encouraged me to appoint his conveyancers in Leominster. Should I find my own solicitor?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Leominster conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to seek recommendations from friends or family who have previously instructed the conveyancer that you are are thinking of instructing.

There are numerous houses in Leominster on private roads. We are acquiring one such house. Are there any advantages to buying a property on a private road?

Leominster conveyancing solicitors are well versed in transacting homeson private. Your lawyer should investigate Land Registry data to identify any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that residents make annual contributions for the upkeep of the road. If one exists, the road will likely be maintained and look better than council adopted.
