We chose a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Retford yesterday. Reviewing the Ts and Cs I seewe are on the hook for costs even if the dealdoes not proceed. Should I ditch them and appoint an on-line conveyancing company promoting no completion no cost conveyancing in Retford?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to neutralise the conveyances that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that these offerings rarely protect you from expenses e.g. Retford conveyancing search charges.

I acquired my flat on 11 January and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Retford expressed confidence that it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Retford uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Retford registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the property thus post completion formalities is not always primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Retford. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? 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. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Retford. I happened to land on a web site which seems to have the perfect offering If it is possible to get all the legals done via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

I have finally had an offer on an flat in Retford agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other flats in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Retford. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with Lloyds?

It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is an associated chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Retford conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your property lawyer is on the Lloyds approved list. Regarding the subsequent stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some buyers would apply for the mortgage with Lloyds and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their property lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Retford.
