As someone not used to the Toddington conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can impart for the ownership transfer in Toddington
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Toddington and elsewhere in Bedfordshire is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, estate agent and even potentially your mortgage company. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Toddington an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will attempt to convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

My wife and I own a renovated Victorian house in Toddington. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Birmingham Midshires. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Birmingham Midshires 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Toddington 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 buyers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
How does conveyancing in Toddington differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Toddington contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Toddington typically acquire the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Toddington or who has acted in the same development.
