I am buying a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Enderby who is on the TSB conveyancing. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for TSB in certain locations such as Enderby. We dont recommend any particular firm.
We are intent on selling our property in Enderby and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A high street Enderby conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Enderby. We have lived in Enderby for six years we know of no issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Enderby I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Enderby in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
I have been recommended by numerous estate agents in Enderby to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your site over and above a competitor’s?
We don’t give any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I purchased a property in Enderby last 6/6/2024 and to date it is still not registered with HM Land Registry. It is part of a new estate and my property lawyer told me that it can take 12 months to register. I have contacted the Land Registry directly and they have informed me the original application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. What can I do?
It is your conveyancing practitioner that you should get in touch with in order to satisfy any concerns which have been raised as part of the registration process for your Enderby property. Normal Enderby conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the previous owner’s conveyancer that they will assist in resolving any registration raised by HMLR so it may be a case of taking action to enforce that undertaking in some way.
