My lawyer has identified a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Oswestry. The seller’s lawyers have put forward title insurance as a solution. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our conveyancer has advised that he must check that the lender is content with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the bank does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. You and the bank are the client. These conveyancing instructions must be adhered to.

I got the keys to my apartment on 8 November and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Oswestry said it should be concluded in less than a month. Are properties in Oswestry uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Oswestry is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the premises so post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Oswestry differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Oswestry come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because builders in Oswestry typically buy the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Oswestry or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Oswestry is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Oswestry are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Oswestry you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Oswestry may determine 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.
