The type of New Inn conveyancing searches depends entirely on the premises, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your general approach to risk. What matters is that you properly understand what information the searches could give you. You may then decide if you consider that you need that information. Where you are in doubt, ask your lawyer to advise.
Is there a list of TSB panel solicitors in New Inn on the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Website?
No. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association websites. Very few mortgage companies make their panel listings available online. Where you are in need of a New Inn property lawyer on the TSB please use our facility.
Is it the case that all New Inn solicitor practices on the Santander conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Santander approved list of solicitors they would need to be governed by the SRA. Many banks do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such firms would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My wife and I are at the point of looking at apartments in New Inn and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a lawyer appointed at this stage? I am planning to take a home loan with Yorkshire BS.
It would be advisable to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in New Inn. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

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. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. 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. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in New Inn I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in New Inn for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my father I am disposing of a property in Monmouth but I am based in New Inn. My solicitor (who is 235 miles from meneeds me to sign a stat dec before completion.

strictly speaking you should not be required to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are New Inn based
I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased mum’s Will, with a house in New Inn which is to be sold. The house is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm told that many estate agents will insist that it is completed before they'll move forward. What's the procedure for this?
In the situation you refer to it seems prudent to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
