I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Wiveliscombe. My lender is The Mortgage Works
The Mortgage Works have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 14/7/2025, the requirements read as follows :
It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Wiveliscombe concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Wiveliscombe is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Wiveliscombe are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Wiveliscombe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wiveliscombe may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial offices in Wiveliscombe and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to gives protection to business tenants, giving them the a statutory right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act to your advantage and help with commercial conveyancing in Wiveliscombe
Been on the hunt for a conveyancer for leasehold sale conveyancing in Wiveliscombe. We are selling, simple no mortgage to pay off, no hurry, currently vacant. Had an estimate from a lawyer for £800 plus VAT which is a little expensive considering its so straightforward. Is it possible to find less expensive fees for conveyancing in Wiveliscombe?
Considering it’s a sale only, 475 + VAT should be about the best for a Wiveliscombe solicitor firm.
