As someone not used to conveyancing in Malvern what is the number one tip you can give me for the ownership transfer in Malvern

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Malvern and elsewhere in Worcestershire is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the seller, selling agent and sometimes the lender. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Malvern should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose role it is to look after your best interests and to keep you safe.

Sometimes a third party with a vested interest may attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your conveyancer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do something that is contrary to your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. 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. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
