I am buying a semi-detached house in Mildenhall. Conveyancing solicitors are said to be ‘a necessary evil’ but can I do it myself?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Mildenhall you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in Mildenhall.
I am downsizing from our house in Mildenhall and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an internet conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Mildenhall. We have lived in Mildenhall for 4 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
I am buying a new build flat in Mildenhall. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Mildenhall
-
There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Mildenhall prior to instructing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some mortgage companies tend refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold property.

We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we use the agent's preferred conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Mildenhall
It is highly unlikely the owners are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your own,trusted Mildenhall conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures set by head office.
