We are due to exchange buying a property in Mawsley but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have managed to agree compensation from the current proprietors of three thousand pounds taking the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of amending the contract yet Lloyds are not allowing this. Should they have been notified?
Your conveyancer that is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is obliged to inform Lloyds of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to Lloyds then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Lloyds and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Mawsley.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Mawsley. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Can you assist?
You should contact your solicitor and ask them if they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you should call Leeds Building Society who may be able to assist.
I bought my apartment on 5 February and my personal details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Mawsley expressed confidence that it would be registered in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Mawsley uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Mawsley is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property so post completion formalities is not typically an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Mawsley is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Mawsley are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Mawsley you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Mawsley may ascertain 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 residence.

Are there frequently found problems that you see in leases for Mawsley properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Mawsley. All leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can result in certain clauses are not included. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
A provision to repair to or maintain parts of the property Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property.
