My family lawyer has sent a quote for £1200 for no completion no fee conveyancing in Cudworth. I am hoping to sell a Georgian house for £175,000. Is this overpriced? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Cudworth?
The estimate does seem a tad overpriced. If you shop around you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as £125. On the other hand, you couldcome to regret opting for an an unknown conveyancer. Don't forget to ensure that the conveyancer can represent your lender.

Just acquired a semi-detached house in Cudworth , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Cudworth conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the land registry aspects are addressed.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Cudworth registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Cudworth. Conveyancing is daunting 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 are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Cudworth
-
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. 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. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
I opted to have a survey done on a house in Cudworth before appointing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. The surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to issue a loan on such a premises.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you e-mail us we can check with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Cudworth. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Cudworth to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
Am I better off to instruct a Cudworth conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can perform the legal formalities but her office is over three hundred kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a local Cudworth conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute documents, present your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Cudworth know how is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were impressed that should outweigh using an unknown Cudworth conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
