My lawyer has identified a a problem with the lease for the flat we are purchasing in Wymondham. The seller’s lawyers have offered title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will pay for it. Our lawyer has advised that he must check that the mortgage company is content with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?
Even though you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their conditions 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 lender are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.
Completed the sale of my flat in Wymondham last August but my buyer keeps SMS messaging every few hours to moan that her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?
Following your sale your lawyer should deliver the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's lawyers. Where relevant, your conveyancer must also evidence that the home loan has been discharged to the buyers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion tasks unique to conveyancing in Wymondham.
I have recentlyfound out that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Wymondham for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Wymondham conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Wymondham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Wymondham approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Wymondham typically acquire 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 Wymondham or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Wymondham before appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor advised that some lenders may refuse to grant a mortgage on a flying freehold house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Wymondham.
