My financial adviser requires my Newark lawyer’ panel member for the Nat West conveyancing panel. How do I obtain this. I have contacted my local Newark office but they have not responded to me.
Have you tried calling your Newark solicitor about this?. Most Newark conveyancing firms will keep a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
Last October we completed a house move in Newark. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Newark?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Newark. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated during the legal transfer of property are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a property owner answers a form known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. answers turns out to be inaccurate, then you may have a claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Newark.

Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your proprietorship will be evidenced by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and order current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one near me in Newark I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Newark in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
