I am buying a new build flat in Peterborough. 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.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Peterborough. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.

If the lease is registered - and most are in Peterborough - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence.

Me and my fiance have recently had an offer agreed on a flat and had an appointment on Tuesday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to selecting a lawyer that if they are not on their approved list of lawyers then we will incur a further fee of £250+. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to instruct a solicitor to act for them as well as the one we choose to act on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their fees. I have requested the Post Office to provide me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved solicitors but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?

You should ask the Post Office what their criteria for joining their panel is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for the Post Office previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with the Post Office. Alternatively please use our search tool and we may be able to find you a lawyer in Peterborough on the panel for the Post Office.
