I require conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years built) in Holsworthy. The vast majority the flats are already occupied. Do I need carry out the conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Holsworthy?
If you getting a loan, your lender will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Holsworthy conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she has a professional duty to do this. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to find a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Holsworthy.
We hope to to buy with Coventry BS. We have called around locally yet am unable to find a Holsworthy conveyancing firm on the Coventry BS approved list. Could you assist?

My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Holsworthy. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Britannia. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Britannia to clarify?
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Holsworthy and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
We're novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Holsworthy
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Holsworthy conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.
I've found a house that appears to be perfect, at a reasonable figure which is making it all the more appealing. I have since found out that the title is leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are issues purchasing a house with a leasehold title in Holsworthy. Conveyancing lawyers have are soon to be instructed. Will they explain the issues?
The majority of houses in Holsworthy are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process. We note that you are purchasing in Holsworthy so you should seriously consider shopping around for a Holsworthy conveyancing solicitor and be sure that they have experience in dealing with leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. As a leaseholder you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions such as obtaining the freeholder’sconsent to conduct alterations. You may also be required to pay a service charge towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the property is located on an estate. Your lawyer should report to you on the legal implications.
I own a leasehold flat in Holsworthy, conveyancing was carried out half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Holsworthy with an extended lease are worth £216,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2095
You have 69 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £9,500 and £11,000 plus professional fees.
The figure above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.
I'm remortgaging a flat in Holsworthy. I have found my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't locate my conveyancer's name on the list. Should I be concerned?
Not all staff in the practice must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is a manager qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unlicensed staff.
