It is 10 years ago since I purchased my property in Gallows Corner. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to find my title documents. Will this jeopardise the sale?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be retained by your lender or they could still be with the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the property will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Gallows Corner relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
I have justfound out that Wolstenholmes have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Gallows Corner for a purchase of a freehold house 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

How does conveyancing in Gallows Corner differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Gallows Corner contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Gallows Corner tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Gallows Corner or who has acted in the same development.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed flat in Gallows Corner. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just received a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
It best that you discharge the maintenance contribution as usual because all ground rent and service invoices will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

I am purchasing a ground floor apartment in Gallows Corner. Conveyancing lawyer is waiting for, from the seller, building insurance paperwork. This afternoon I was advised that the owner needs to send the insurance schedule for the flat above as well. Why would my conveyancer need to review the insurance for the other flat? Is it really required? We have been stalled for the previous month…
It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Gallows Corner to discover Conveyancing in Gallows Corner in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats rather than the landlord insuring the entire building - which is definitely better. You should double check with your lawyer but it would appear that your conveyancing practitioner is seeking to verify that the entire building is insured. Insuring a ground floor apartment is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reinstated as a result of lack of insurance cover.
