I am buying a right to buy a flat in Cross Keys. How practical is it for me to do the conveyancing?
Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Cross Keys you will have to appoint a solicitor on your lender's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender.

My wife and I have a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Cross Keys. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Nationwide Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Cross Keys and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the position with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Cross Keys. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Cross Keys
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Cross Keys prior to retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some lenders may not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold house.
