We have a mortgage agreed in principle with Nottingham. Ampthill conveyancing practitioners are appointed. How long does it take for Nottingham to forward the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Nottingham completed the survey? Have you advised Nottingham as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
The mortgage over my property is with UBS for my property in Ampthill. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform UBS?
Your original mortgage agreement with UBS will provide that you need their approval before renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact UBS directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a UBS conveyancing panel lawyer.
Intending to buy a flat in Ampthill. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Ampthill property lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel.
3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Ampthill concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I’m about to sell my 2 bed apartment in Ampthill. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
It best that you discharge the maintenance contribution as you normally would as all ground rent and service payments will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

The conveyancers conducting our conveyancing in Ampthill has sent papers to review that state the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Is it not the case that all houses in Ampthill should be registered?
Although most properties in Ampthill are now registered with HM Land Registry there are still some that are unregistered. Any property in Ampthill that has been remortgaged since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the HM Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Ampthill property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Ampthill conveyancing solicitors will be capable of dealing with this type of conveyancing but in the event that uncertainty prevails the prevailing guidance nowadays appears to be for the seller to register it first and thereafter deal with the disposal - this will have a domino effect to result in a drawn-out transaction.
