We are buying a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Mansfield Woodhouse who is on the UBS approved panel. 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 be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for UBS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Mansfield Woodhouse.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Mansfield Woodhouse and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any high street Mansfield Woodhouse lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a national conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Mansfield Woodhouse. We have lived in Mansfield Woodhouse for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)

I bought my flat on 3 October and my personal details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Mansfield Woodhouse said it will be formalised in less than a month. Are transfers in Mansfield Woodhouse particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Mansfield Woodhouse registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am buying a new build flat in Mansfield Woodhouse. 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 legal work.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Mansfield Woodhouse

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. 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 the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
