My wife and I are purchasing a newly constructed duplex in Nuthall and my conveyancer is advising me that she has to the bank to reveal incentives from the builder. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange and I would rather not prolong the conveyancing. is my lawyer playing by the book?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your solicitor. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
Do I need to attend the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Nuthall so that I can pop in to their offices if required.
These days conveyancing panel lawyers for lenders carry out all of the work through the post, internet or over phone calls. This means that they can undertake the conveyancing transaction regardless of where you live in the country. That being said you can check if you have the option of visiting the offices of your conveyancing lawyer if you prefer.

How does conveyancing in Nuthall differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Nuthall approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Nuthall usually buy 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 Nuthall or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Nuthall is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Nuthall are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Nuthall you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Nuthall 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.
