I decided to go with a Copmanthorpe based solicitor for our conveyancing in Copmanthorpe recently. Going through the small print I notewe are liable for fees even if the dealdoes not happen. Should I go with them or use a web based conveyancing company who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Copmanthorpe?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to offset those transactions that abort. Please beware that these deals generally do not cover disbursements for example Copmanthorpe conveyancing search charges.

Should my solicitor be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in Copmanthorpe.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers specialising in conveyancing in Copmanthorpe. There are those who acquire a property in Copmanthorpe, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.

Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be carried out by the purchaser or by their conveyancers which will give them a better appreciation of the risks in Copmanthorpe. The standard completed inquiry forms sent to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a standard inquiry of the owner to determine if the premises has suffered from flooding. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer could commence a legal claim for losses resulting from an inaccurate answer. The purchaser’s conveyancers may also order an enviro report. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed inquiries will need to be initiated.

Have completed on a a terraced house in Copmanthorpe , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Copmanthorpe conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Copmanthorpe registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. At present approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Copmanthorpe and how can your lawyers assist?

The particular law that you refer to provides protection to commercial leaseholders, giving them the legal entitlement to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
