My partner’s sister is a solicitor. I hope that I'll be able to get friends and family pricing for conveyancing, However if that does not come materialise, what level of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Buckley?

It’s prudent to get two or three conveyancing quotes. Do use our search tool on this site. You will notice that charges will contrast greatly but service levels do differ between conveyancers as is the case with the vast majority of professional services.

I am considering applying for a Kent Reliance mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Buckley with 60% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Kent Reliance ?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Kent Reliance will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

Just bought a semi-detached house in Buckley , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Buckley conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my name is recorded.

As far as conveyancing in Buckley registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Buckley. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
