I am acquiring property in Bishops Cleeve. My Conveyancer is not on the lender conveyancing list. Am I still permitted to retain my Bishops Cleeve conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
You must instruct a conveyancer to complete the legal work required when you need a loan to purchase your home. The conveyancing practitioner will conduct all the relevant due diligence on the property, make sure that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is in place. You may appoint a Bishops Cleeve property lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, if the conveyancing practitioner selected is not a member of the mortgage company solicitor panel further charges will be levied as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so provided your lawyer has not in the past applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.

My partner and I are planning on selling our home in Bishops Cleeve and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Bishops Cleeve. We have lived in Bishops Cleeve for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Bishops Cleeve concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 asset 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.
About to purchase a new build apartment in Bishops Cleeve. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 legal work.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bishops Cleeve
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply a car parking plan.
