Do I find a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in Market Deeping?
There are two types of lawyers who can do conveyancing in Market Deeping namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Market Deeping. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Market Deeping?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.
I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Clydesdale. Is it usual for Clydesdale to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Market Deeping is approved on their conveyancing panel? Clydesdale have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Clydesdale to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Should our lawyer be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Market Deeping.
Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Market Deeping. There are those who buy a house in Market Deeping, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be carried out by the buyer or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Market Deeping. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a purchaser’s conveyancer (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a standard question of the seller to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the owner, then a buyer may commence a legal claim for losses resulting from an misleading reply. A buyer’s conveyancers may also commission an enviro search. This should indicate whether there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be initiated.
2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Market Deeping completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 property 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.
How does conveyancing in Market Deeping differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Market Deeping come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Market Deeping usually purchase the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Market Deeping or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Market Deeping I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Market Deeping suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
