Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Woore. My lender is The Mortgage Works
The Mortgage Works have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 23/12/2025, the requirements read as follows :
What will a local search tell me regarding the property I am purchasing in Woore?
Woore conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search organisations for instance Onsearch The local search plays a central role in most Woore conveyancing purchase; that is if you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your property. The search should supply information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of 13 subject sections.
I got the keys to my house on 8 September and my personal details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Woore expressed confidence that it will be concluded in less than a month. Are properties in Woore particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Woore registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of submission are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore registration formalities is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Woore prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to give a mortgage on this type of property.

What are the frequently found defects that you see in leases for Woore properties?
Leasehold conveyancing in Woore is not unique. All leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain clauses are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage A duty to insure the building
You will encounter difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Barclays , Coventry Building Society, and TSB all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to pull out.

It is important to be aware whether redecorating or some other significant cost is due in the foreseeable future to be shared between the leasehold owners and could well dramatically impact the level of the maintenance charges or necessitate a specific invoice. How much is the maintenance charge and ground rent on the property? On the whole the outlay for major works tend not to be incorporated into the service charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Woore require leasehold owners to contribute towards a sinking fund created for the specific purpose of building a fund for major repairs or maintenance.
I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the mortgage company approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the lender conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the lender solicitor panel.
