We are purchasing our first property. The property lawyer has calledto check if we want to take out supplemental conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's recommended for conveyancing in Springwell

The type of Springwell conveyancing searches depends entirely on the premises, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your knowledge of the locality and risks, your general appetite to risk. What matters is that you properly understand what information the searches could supply. You may then make a decision if you personally think you need that information. Where you are uncertain, ask the solicitor to recommend.

Are the Springwell conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Co-operative conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Co-operative?

Springwell conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Co-operative directly.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Springwell. 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.

Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Springwell

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. 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. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

I acquired a property in Springwell last 28/6/2024 and to date it is still not recorded with HMLR. It is part of a development site and my solicitor told me that it can take one year to complete the registration formalities. I have contacted HMLR directly and they say that the original application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. What can I do?
