Intending to buy a apartment in Lyneham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.

I purchased my home on 4 July and the transaction details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Lyneham expressed confidence that it should be registered in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Lyneham uniquely lengthy to register?

As far as conveyancing in Lyneham registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

How does conveyancing in Lyneham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Lyneham approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because new home sellers in Lyneham tend to acquire the land, 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Lyneham or who has acted in the same development.

I today plan to offer on a house that seems to meet my requirements, at a reasonable figure which is making it all the more appealing. I have subsequently discovered that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns buying a leasehold house in Lyneham. Conveyancing lawyers have are about to be instructed. Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in Lyneham ?

Most houses in Lyneham are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer used to dealing with such properties who can help the conveyancing process. We note that you are purchasing in Lyneham so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Lyneham conveyancing practitioner and be sure that they are used to advising on leasehold houses.

The lease comes with conditions for example requiring the landlord’sconsent to conduct alterations. You may also be required to pay a contribution towards the upkeep of the estate where the property is part of an estate. Your lawyer should report to you on the legal implications.

I am buying a garden apartment in Lyneham. Conveyancing solicitor is waiting for, from the vendor, building insurance paperwork. This morning I was informed that the vendor must send the insurance schedule for the flat above as well. Why does my property lawyer need to see the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly necessary? We have been in hold for the last month…

It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Lyneham to find Conveyancing in Lyneham in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the complete building - which is clearly preferable. You should check with your conveyancer but it would seem that your conveyancing practitioner is attempting to establish that the complete building is insured. Insuring your flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be rebuilt due to lack of insurance cover.
