My partner and I are selling our property in North Hykeham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A high street North Hykeham lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in North Hykeham. Having lived in North Hykeham for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? 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 acquired my home on 12 April and my personal details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in North Hykeham said it will be registered in less than a month. Are titles in North Hykeham particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in North Hykeham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in North Hykeham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in North Hykeham approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in North Hykeham 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 property lawyers 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 North Hykeham or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. North Hykeham is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Even where you use a solicitor outside North Hykeham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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.
