My partner and I are purchasing a brand new apartment in Rothley and my conveyancer is advising me that she is duty bound to the lender to reveal incentives from the seller. I am under pressure to exchange and my preference is not to prolong matters. 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 mortgage company panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Rothley for our house purchase. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Barclays won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Lenders on the whole imposes restrictions either the type or the volume of conveyancing practices on their panel. Typical examples of such criteria being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. As well as restricting the profile of firm, a few banks have decided to limit the number of firms they allow to represent them. You should note that Barclays have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Barclays Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels since 2008 even though there are differing opinions concerning the level of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry indicate that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Rothley only perform very few conveyances a year.
Just bought a detached house in Rothley , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Rothley conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Rothley registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify 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. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not typically primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Rothley. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
