I am hoping to receive a mortgage offer from Halifax. I hope to retain the legal services of a Licensed Conveyancer in Tisbury. Does the Halifax Conveyancing panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We note that you have a search directory listing law firms on the RBS conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a commission if I retain them for our own conveyancing in Tisbury?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the RBS conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Tisbury.
I need some quick conveyancing in Tisbury as I am under an ultimatum to complete in less than one month. Fortunately I do not need a mortgage. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?
If.Given you are are a cash buyer you are at liberty not to have searches carried out although no conveyancer would suggest that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in Tisbury the following are examples of what can show up and therefore impact future saleability: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Charges, Overdue Grants, Unadopted Roads,...
I purchased a terraced Victorian property in Tisbury. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. Is it worth asking Nationwide Building Society to clarify?
You should review 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 Tisbury and other locations in 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 enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Tisbury. 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 conveyancing.

Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. 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. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Please supply a car parking plan. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Tisbury I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Tisbury in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
