Would the conveyancing lawyers identified via your search tool handle auction conveyancing in Lunt?

There are a few auction solicitors we can connect you with those conducting auction conveyancing. Lunt is one of our areas of in which our lawyers have a presence.

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Lunt and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Lunt conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Lunt. We have lived in Lunt for six years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

My wife and I have a terraced Victorian property in Lunt. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Birmingham Midshires. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

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 Lunt and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Lunt with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. The builders refused to budge the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this extras as it could impact my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I opted to have a survey carried out on a house in Lunt prior to retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor advised that some banks tend not issue a loan on this type of premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements for example to Halifax. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Lunt. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Lunt to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.
