Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Wolston. I would like to know the understand why all Wolston lawyers are not on all mortgage company panels?
As inequitable as it may seem for mortgage companies to limit who can act for them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s point of view, the flip side is that lenders are becoming ever more anxious and feel it imperative to shield themselves from mortgage fraud. As a result of this concern lenders have consolidated their conveyancing panel to a manageable size.
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Wolston concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Wolston is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Wolston are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wolston you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wolston may determine 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 residence.

I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for leasehold conveyancing in Wolston. I have land on a site which seems to have the ideal offering If it is possible to get all formalities completed via email that would be preferable. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Back In 2008, I bought a leasehold house in Wolston. Conveyancing and Barclays Direct mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing solicitor in Wolston who previously acted has now retired. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to instruct a Wolston conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
