I am acquiring a leasehold flat in Woolacombe. My Solicitor is not listed on the bank approved list. Is it possible for me to retain my Woolacombe conveyancing solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the bank panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

One will need to have a lawyer to deal with the legal work required if you need a mortgage to purchase your home. They will carry out all the essential legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the necessary mortgage paperwork is dealt with. You can select a Woolacombe solicitor of your choosing. However, if the conveyancer appointed is not on the mortgage company conveyancing panel additional charges will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not in the past sought membership they should take the chance to apply.

I purchased a renovated Edwardian house in Woolacombe. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to read 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 Woolacombe and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Woolacombe. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Woolacombe

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. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please supply a car parking plan. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
