I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for hinderance in North End house deals. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in North End.

I am buying a new build apartment in North End. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in North End

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. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in North End before retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. The surveyor advised that some lenders may not issue a loan on this type of premises.

If you contact us we can investigate further via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in North End. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Should I instruct a North End conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am buying? We have a good friend who can conduct the conveyancing however his firm is located over three hundred miles away.

The primary upside of using a local North End conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, hand in your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. Having local North End know how is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and they were happy that should trump using an unknown North End conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.
