As someone clueless as to conveyancing in Leominster what is your top tip you can give me for the house moving process in Leominster
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Leominster and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the legal transfer of property. E.g., the seller, selling agent and on occasion a mortgage company. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Leominster should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose interest is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.
Sometimes a third party with a vested interest will attempt to sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your conveyancer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do something that is contrary to your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a Leominster solicitor on the TSB panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your TSB mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Will our conveyancer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Leominster.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Leominster. There are those who acquire a house in Leominster, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, leaving to one side the physical damage, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to give advice on flood risk, but there are a number of searches that can be initiated by the buyer or by their solicitors which should figure out the risks in Leominster. The conventional set of completed inquiry forms given to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the seller to determine whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that the premises has been flooded in past and is not revealed by the owner, then a purchaser may issue a claim for damages stemming from an inaccurate response. A purchaser’s solicitors will also conduct an environmental report. This should higlight if there is a recorded flood risk. If so, further inquiries will need to be initiated.
I acquired my flat on 8 April and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Leominster said it should be registered inside ten days. Are titles in Leominster particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Leominster registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. As of today in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property thus registration formalities is not typically primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
