What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Biddulph
It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest Biddulph conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Biddulph. Do I collect the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Biddulph?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Lloyds. Biddulph conveyancing practitioners were appointed. How long does it take for Lloyds to issue the offer to the conveyancing practitioner?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Lloyds done the survey? Have you advised Lloyds as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I own a renovated Victorian house in Biddulph. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Britannia. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Biddulph and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Biddulph is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Biddulph are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Biddulph you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Biddulph may ascertain 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 property.
