What happens if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Virgin Money Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Speke?

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.

I purchased a semi-detached Georgian property in Speke. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Britannia. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. 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 for 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 Speke and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the position with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Speke. 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.

Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Speke

    Please supply a car parking plan. 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? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

My sealed bid on house in Speke has been agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a property, however it’s not yet agreed to, and has viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Speke. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?

It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is a chain given your reluctance to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Speke conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Regarding the next phase this very much dictated by the specifics of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many home buyers would apply for a home loan with Leeds Building Society and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Speke.
