My lawyer has uncovered a a legal deficiency with the lease for the flat we are buying in Paignton. The seller’s lawyers have suggested title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will pay for it. Our property lawyer says that he must check that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Are we the client or is the mortgage company ?
Notwithstanding that you have a mortgage offer from the lender does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook requirements. You and the bank are the client. These conveyancing instructions must be adhered to.

I purchased my house on 9 November and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Paignton expressed confidence that it would be registered in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Paignton uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Paignton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I am buying a new build apartment in Paignton. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Paignton
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please supply a car parking plan. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Paignton is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Paignton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Paignton 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 Paignton 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 property.
