Much to our surprise we have been told by our mortgage broker that my Shepshed the law firm I have appointed is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. How can I be sure whether this is correct?
The sensible course of action for you to take is to contact your Shepshed conveyancer. You lawyer should inform you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your bank.
I bought my apartment on 3 January and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Shepshed said it will be dealt with inside ten days. Are titles in Shepshed uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Shepshed registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the buyer is living at the property so an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Shepshed differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Shepshed approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Shepshed typically acquire 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 Shepshed 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 last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Shepshed is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Shepshed are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Shepshed you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shepshed may decide 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 property.

What makes a Shepshed lease defective?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Shepshed. Most leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain sections are erroneous. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
A duty to insure the building
A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Santander, Leeds Building Society, and Nottingham Building Society all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to pull out.
