I chose a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Enderby recently. After carefully reading the Ts and Cs I noteI am liable for fees even if our purchase aborts. Should I go with them or appoint a web based conveyancing company offering no completion no cost conveyancing in Enderby?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to offset the conveyances that abort. Also remember that these arrangements tend not to cover outlay by way of example Enderby conveyancing search fees.

It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their panels.

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Skipton approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the SRA. Some banks do list licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the firms would be regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
My partner and I are in the process of looking at apartments in Enderby and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a mortgage with Virgin Money.
You should start requesting conveyancing estimates from solicitors ASAP.

My wife and I purchased a terraced Georgian property in Enderby. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Leeds Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Enderby and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also check the position with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Enderby
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? 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 Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Enderby is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Enderby 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 Enderby you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Enderby 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 residence.
