I am searching for value for money conveyancer. Do I opt for a nationwide conveyancer or a family Burbage conveyancing lawyer?

Generally conveyancing solicitors in your area will have excellent connections with your local authority, which could assist with your Burbage conveyancing searches that your conveyancer will need to carry out. It also helps if they have strong rapport with the Local Land Registry Office your area Burbage, other lawyers in the area and Burbage property agents.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Burbage. I need to find out whether they are accepted on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd approved list of lawyers. Can you assist?

The first thing to do is call the conveyancer and enquire whether they can act for the lender. Alternatively you can call Godiva Mortgages Ltd who may be able to assist.

four months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Burbage completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Burbage. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 legal work.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Burbage

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. 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. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

My intention is to purchase a ground floor apartment in Burbage. Conveyancing lawyer is awaiting, from the owner, building insurance schedule. This afternoon I was advised that the seller must forward the insurance documents for the flat above in addition. Why would my solicitor want to check the insurance for the flat above? Is it really required? We have been stalled for the previous 3 weeks…

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Burbage to find Conveyancing in Burbage in a minority of cases reveals that the lease provides for the tenant's to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the complete building - which is definitely better. Do clarify with your lawyer but it would appear that your conveyancer is seeking to verify that the complete building is insured. Insuring your residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be rebuilt for lack of insurance cover.
