A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Lynmouth. Having lived in Lynmouth for three years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

I moved into my flat on 4 November and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Lynmouth said it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Lynmouth uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Lynmouth registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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 property.
