Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Conisbrough who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a home loan from Coventry Building Society. It looks as though am now being charged double. Should I look for a cheaper internet conveyancer?

The costs illustration is fractionally on the high side. If you are prepared to invest time comparing charges you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds. On the other hand, providing that you were pleased with the service the firm provided you mightlive to regret opting for an an untested solicitor.

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the CML Handbook requirements . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Conisbrough conveyancing searches.

I am buying a new build flat in Conisbrough. 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.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Conisbrough

Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. 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. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.
