Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kingston Park

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is suspended from the Leeds Building Society Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Kingston Park?

The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

I am downsizing from our home in Kingston Park and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a national conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Kingston Park. We have lived in Kingston Park for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)

My wife and I have a terraced Edwardian property in Kingston Park. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Barclays . I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to read 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 Kingston Park and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Kingston Park is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Kingston Park are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kingston Park you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kingston Park may decide 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 premises.

Given that I will soon part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a garden flat in Kingston Park I would like to talk to a solicitor regarding thehome move ahead of giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

We could not agree more - we would be delighted to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the lawyer who will be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Kingston Park.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a file number. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are provided with for your conveyancing in Kingston Park should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
