We are purchasing a newly converted apartment in Woodstock with a residential mortgage from Barclays Direct.We use our Woodstock conveyancing solicitor but Barclays Direct says he's not listed on their approved list of firms. we are left little option but to use a Barclays Direct panel lawyer or retain our local solicitor and pay for a Barclays Direct panel lawyer to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The loan issued to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that solicitors needs to be on the Barclays Direct approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Woodstock. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Woodstock

    If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

You should use our search tool to help you find a solicitor for your conveyancing in Woodstock. We have connected thousands of home buyers and sellers with lender approved solicitors to ensure that the legalities of their house move goes with a minimum of fuss.

I am employed by a reputable estate agency in Woodstock where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Woodstock conveyancing firms. Please can you clarify whether the owner of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

Woodstock Conveyancing for Leasehold Flats - A selection of Queries before buying

    How much is the annual maintenance fee and ground rent? The answer will be useful as a) areas can result in problems in the block as the communal areas may start to deteriorate where services remain unpaid b) if the leaseholders have a dispute with the managing agents you will want to know about it Does the lease have onerous restrictions?

My aim is to purchase a ground floor flat in Woodstock. Conveyancing lawyer is awaiting, from the seller, building insurance paperwork. I was told today I was informed that the vendor needs to send the insurance documents for the flat above in addition. Why would my lawyer need to see the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly necessary? We have been waiting for the last fortnight…

It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Woodstock to discover Conveyancing in Woodstock in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the complete premises - which is definitely preferable. You should check with your solicitor but it would seem that your solicitor is seeking to verify that the complete building is insured. Insuring your flat is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be rebuilt due to lack of insurance cover.
