We are purchasing a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in North Hykeham who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Kent Reliance . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in North Hykeham.
We are planning on selling our house in North Hykeham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in North Hykeham. We have lived in North Hykeham for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I moved into my apartment on 11 November and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in North Hykeham advises it will be recorded inside ten days. Are properties in North Hykeham uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in North Hykeham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not usually top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
