We are buying a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Brundall who is on the Nottingham approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Nottingham . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Brundall.
My lawyer in Brundall has never been on on the Barnsley Building Society Solicitor Panel. Can I still use my family solicitor even though they are excluded from the Barnsley Building Society approved list?
The limited options available to you here include:
- Carry on with your preferred Brundall solicitors but Barnsley Building Society will need to retain a conveyancer on their list of acceptable firms. This will inevitably rack up the overall legal charges and result in delays.
- Choose a new lawyer to to deal with the purchase, not forgetting to check they are on the Barnsley Building Society panel
2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Brundall took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Brundall differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Brundall come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Brundall tend to buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Brundall or who has acted in the same development.
I’m about to sell my garden apartment in Brundall. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you pay the invoice as you normally would as all rents and maintenance charges should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
