We are planning to acquire a flat and need a conveyancing solicitor in Cheddleton who is on the Kent Reliance solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?

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 Cheddleton.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home are lost. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Cheddleton 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?

As long as you have a registered title the information relating to your ownership will be evidenced by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is possible to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and order up to date copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. If the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.

I am buying a new build apartment in Cheddleton. 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 legal work.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Cheddleton

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 Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please supply a car parking plan. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.

Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Cheddleton ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will refuse to grant a loan on such a house.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can check with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Cheddleton. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Cheddleton to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

Me and my husband have recently had an offer agreed on a flat and had meeting on Tuesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to appointing a property lawyer that unless they are on their approved panel of solicitors then we will be subject to an a further charge of about two hundred pounds. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to instruct a property lawyer to act on their behalf as well as the one we choose to act on our behalf and we will be on the hook for their invoice. I have asked Leeds Building Society to send me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?

Ask Leeds Building Society what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Then ask the lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for Leeds Building Society before. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with Leeds Building Society. Alternatively please utilise our search tool and we should be able to locate a property lawyer in Cheddleton on the panel for Leeds Building Society.
