Our Barton under Needwood solicitor has discovered a difference when comparing the assumptions in the home valuation survey and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer has advised that he is duty bound to ensure that the bank is with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s course or action right?

Your must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers.

Just bought a detached house in Barton under Needwood , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Barton under Needwood conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are addressed.

As far as conveyancing in Barton under Needwood is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Barton under Needwood. 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.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Barton under Needwood

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

I have just appointed agents to market my garden flat in Barton under Needwood.Conveyancing is yet to be initiated but I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the service charge as usual given that all ground rent and service charges will be allottedon completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process
