Willretaining a Langford conveyancing practice make my purchase more efficient?
Generally conveyancing lawyers in your area will have strong connections with your local authority, which could help with the Langford conveyancing searches that your lawyer will inevitably need. It can only be a plus if they enjoy strong rapport with the Local Land Registry Office your area Langford, other lawyers in the location and Langford Estate Agents.
I have given 8 weeks notice to my current landlord and have to leave my let out property in Langford by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase has just started. Is it possible to complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to provide notice for your lease until you have exchanged. If you have not already done so, notify to your conveyancer and request that they seek the assistance the other solicitors, try to get a realistic time scale from them that all parties will aim to achieve
I own a semi-detached Georgian property in Langford. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Britannia. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. Is it worth asking Britannia to clarify?
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be 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 Langford and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the work.
Taking into account that I am about to spend £400,000 on a house in Langford I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer regarding thehome move ahead of giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
