Are the BSA planning on creating a search tool with a view to to identify law firms on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel for instance in Liskeard?
Lexsure has not been advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a tool.
I am downsizing from our house in Liskeard and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a national conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Liskeard. We have lived in Liskeard for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Liskeard 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?
Gone are the days when you need to have the physical official documentation to prove you own the land or property, as the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Liskeard is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Liskeard are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Liskeard you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Liskeard may ascertain 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 residence.
Is it possible to swap conveyancer as I need to find one who is on the TSB conveyancing list. I had appointed a family conveyancing solicitor in Liskeard round the corner but she is not approved by TSB
