Can conveyancing in Bridlington to be finalised in under 10 days?

In the event that the seller is applying time constraints for your conveyancing we would recommend that your lawyer is familiar with the area as they will benefit local relationships and insight. It is possible that they may have conducted otherhomes in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Bridlington conveyancing firm. In addition, check that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is said that nearly one in five of Bridlington conveyancing deals are held up or jeopardised after finding out that a purchaser’s conveyancer was not on their banks list of approved solicitors. This can often result in the conveyancing being held up by almost 21 days. It is believed that this issue affects in the region of 100,000 home moves annually. Most Bridlington conveyancing firms can not act for certain banks so do check as early as possible.

My wife and I purchased a semi-detached Victorian property in Bridlington. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Barnsley Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Barnsley Building Society to clarify?

You should assess 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 Bridlington and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who carried out the work.

Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
