Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Bottesford costs more?
The conveyancing charges for a leasehold premises in Bottesford is frequently more expensive as compared to a freehold property. This is due to the supplemental investigations necessary in dealing with the landlord and management company to collate the information concerning whether the rent and service charges have been discharged and whether there are any major works due in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the block.

How does conveyancing in Bottesford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Bottesford come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because developers in Bottesford tend to acquire the site, 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 conveyancers 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 Bottesford or who has acted in the same development.
My wife and I have selected a Bottesford conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (FTB’s) and have spotted in the Ts and Cs that they are not overseen by the Financial Conduct Authority. Am I right to be concerned or is that usually the case with conveyancer?
We can't see why they should be. Most property lawyer don't lend money. They should be regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who dictate stringent obligations covering monies held by them.
