As someone with no idea as to conveyancing in Bolsover what is your top tip you can impart for the house moving process in Bolsover

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Bolsover and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for conflict between you and others involved in the house moving process. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and even potentially your bank. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Bolsover should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.

There is a worrying emergence in the "blame" culture- someone must be blamed for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer ahead of the other parties when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

The house builders rep suggested that I not reveal to my lawyer about the extras as it could affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Bolsover is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Bolsover are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bolsover you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bolsover may determine 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.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Bolsover. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

Where a Bolsover lease has no more than 80 years it will affect the salability of the flat. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are happy with residual term of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely have to extend the lease sooner rather than later and it is worth discovering what this will be. For most Bolsoverlease extensions you would need to own the property for two years in order to be legally able to carry out a lease extension. How much is the annual service fee and ground rent? Generally speaking the outlay for major works are not included within maintenance charges, although a few managing agents in Bolsover obliged tenants to pay into a reserve fund and this is used to offset against major works.
