I have todaybecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Chipping Campden for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

How does conveyancing in Chipping Campden differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Chipping Campden approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Chipping Campden usually acquire the land, 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 Chipping Campden or who has acted in the same development.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Chipping Campden. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Chipping Campden - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

How long is the Lease? How is the lease structured?

My husband and I have just had an offer agreed on a property and had an appointment on Wednesday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to selecting a solicitor that unless they are on their approved panel of property lawyers then we will have to pay out an extra fee of £200. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to instruct a conveyancer to act for them as well as the one we appoint for ourselves and we are liable for their invoice. I have asked the Post Office to furnish me with a list so I can request quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told that I need to check with each individual conveyancer to see if they are on the panel. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?

You can enquire of the Post Office what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Then ask the lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for the Post Office previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with the Post Office. Alternatively please utilise our search tool and we may be able to locate a conveyancing practitioner in Chipping Campden on the approved list for the Post Office.
