I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in South Normanton. I I am struggling to find out if they are on the TSB conveyancing panel. Can you assist?
The first thing you should do is contact your conveyancer and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you can call TSB who may be able to assist.
We are intent on selling our home in South Normanton and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any high street South Normanton conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in South Normanton. Having lived in South Normanton for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I own a semi-detached Edwardian house in South Normanton. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Alliance & Leicester . I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in South Normanton 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 mortgage companies. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
Can you offer any advice when it comes to choosing a South Normanton conveyancing firm to carry out our lease extension conveyancing?
When appointing a conveyancer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a South Normanton conveyancing practice) it is imperative that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing. We advise that you talk with several firms including non South Normanton conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be useful:
-
If they are not ALEP accredited then what is the reason? How many lease extensions have they conducted in South Normanton in the last 12 months?
