As someone with no idea as to the Burton upon Stather conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can impart concerning the legal transfer of property in Burton upon Stather
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Burton upon Stather and elsewhere in Lincolnshire is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For example, the vendor, selling agent and sometimes a bank. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Burton upon Stather should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the legal process whose responsibility is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary will attempt to convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your solicitors recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Burton upon Stather solicitor on the Bank of Ireland panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Coventry BS. Is it usual for Coventry BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Burton upon Stather is approved on their conveyancing panel? Coventry BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Burton upon Stather I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Burton upon Stather in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two flats in Burton upon Stather which have about 50 years remaining on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease shortens the value of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. For this reason it is advisable to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
