  • 3 Seaview conveyancing lawyers are likely to have connections at the local Land Registry Office, Local Authority and property agents

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is expelled from the Nottingham Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Seaview?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

How can we tell if a Seaview conveyancing solicitor on the Nottingham panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Seaview getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor handling your transaction.

Intending to buy a house in Seaview. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Seaview solicitor is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

My sealed bid on a detached house in Seaview has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Seaview. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Aldermore?

It is usual to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Seaview conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Regarding the next stages this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. In a hot market the majority of buyers will apply for the mortgage with Aldermore and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to proceed with searches.

We are buying a house and the conveyancer has raised the issue of Chancel Repair to which the house could be liable as it falls into the area of such a church. He has suggested insurance. Is this really required for conveyancing in Seaview

Me and my brother purchased a terraced Georgian house in Seaview. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Barnsley Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Seaview and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Seaview. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Seaview

    Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. 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 Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. 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 the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
