At long last a mortgage agreement from NatWest for the remortgage of my 2 bedroom apartment is coming by the end of next week. Could you suggest a cheap conveyancing practitioner in Melbourn?

This site is not designed to help those in their quest for the lowest fares for conveyancing in Melbourn. Our aim is to provide excellent value conveyancing but we do not work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be swayed by organisations offering £100 conveyancing in Melbourn.

Completed the sale of my flat in Melbourn last June but my buyer keeps texting me to moan that their solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?

Following your house sale your lawyer is duty bound to send the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Depending on the transaction, your solicitor should also confirm that the mortgage has been repaid to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion requirements specific conveyancing in Melbourn.

What happens if my solicitor is expelled from the TSB Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Melbourn?

The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Melbourn

    Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. 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.
