How does conveyancing in Ellesmere differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Ellesmere come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Ellesmere typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Ellesmere or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Ellesmere is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Ellesmere are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Ellesmere you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ellesmere may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial premises in Ellesmere and how can you help?
The 1954 Act provides security of tenure to commercial lessees, giving them the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the estate agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint their preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Ellesmere
It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Ellesmere conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a commission or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
