I am purchasing a property and the solicitor has identified Chancel Repair for which the property could be obligated to contribute to given it’s proximity to the area of such a church. She has mentioned insurance. Is this really appropriate for conveyancing in Great Shelford

five months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Great Shelford completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

How does conveyancing in Great Shelford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Great Shelford come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Great Shelford tend to purchase the land, 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 conveyancers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Great Shelford or who has acted in the same development.
I work for a busy estate agent office in Great Shelford where we see a number of flat sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Great Shelford conveyancing firms. Can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
