Completed the sale of my flat in New Rossington last June yet the purchaser is e-mailing every few hours complaining that their conveyancer needs to hear from mylawyer. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Post completion of your sale your solicitor is committed to deliver the transfer documentation and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Where relevant, your lawyer should also send confirmation that the home loan has been discharged to the buyers solicitors. There are no post completion steps unique to conveyancing in New Rossington.

After the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments remained a mandatory part of moving property.

Can you help - my lawyer advises that defective lease insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for New Rossington conveyancing?
The right level of defective lease indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and The Mortgage Works. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
My wife and I are at the point of looking at apartments in New Rossington and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it wise to have a lawyer on ‘stand by’? I intend to finance via a home loan with RBS.
You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. As you are getting a mortgage with RBS, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the RBS conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
I purchased a terraced Victorian property in New Rossington. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 New Rossington and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
How does conveyancing in New Rossington differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in New Rossington contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in New Rossington usually buy 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 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 New Rossington or who has acted in the same development.

We have been advised by various family members that it can take up to two months for New Rossington conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The draft contract was only forwarded from the vendors property lawyer last week so does the clock start running now?
You should not rely on moving on a specific date until exchange of contracts takes place. Whatever assurances the people you are buying from or selling to make, or your lender provides don't count on them. More frustration is caused to home movers by unfulfilled assurances than anything else.
