Completed the sale of my flat in Moor Park last April yet the purchaser is whats apping every few hours to moan that their lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?

Can you help - my lawyer advises that lack of planning permission insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Moor Park?

Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Clydesdale. Moor Park conveyancing lawyers were chosen. How long does it take for Clydesdale to forward the offer to the property lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Clydesdale conducted the survey? Have you advised Clydesdale as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Moor Park off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the main reason for delay in Moor Park conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

How does conveyancing in Moor Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Moor Park come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Moor Park usually buy the real estate, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 used to new build conveyancing in Moor Park or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Moor Park is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Moor Park are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Moor Park you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Moor Park may determine 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.
