I am considering refinancing my apartment in Becontree Heath, does my lawyer need to be on the Nottingham Solicitor panel?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Nottingham will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is much more potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

I have justdiscovered that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Becontree Heath for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?

How does conveyancing in Becontree Heath differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Becontree Heath approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because builders in Becontree Heath tend to acquire the site, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Becontree Heath or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Becontree Heath is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Becontree Heath are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Becontree Heath you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Becontree Heath may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
