As someone not used to the Market Bosworth conveyancing process what’s your top tip you can give me concerning the legal transfer of property in Market Bosworth
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Market Bosworth and elsewhere in Leicestershire is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for conflict between you and others involved in the home moving process. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and even potentially your mortgage company. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Market Bosworth is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the legal process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest will try and sway you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do something that is against your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

Please help - my lawyer says that flying freehold insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Market Bosworth?
The right level of flying freehold indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Accord Mortgages Ltd and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
How does conveyancing in Market Bosworth differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Market Bosworth approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in Market Bosworth typically acquire the real estate, 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 Market Bosworth or who has acted in the same development.
I’m about to sell my garden apartment in Market Bosworth. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just received a quarterly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the service charge as you normally would as all ground rent and service payments will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies 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.
