I have justdiscovered that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Cross Keys for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Cross Keys conveyancing specialists.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Cross Keys is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Cross Keys are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Cross Keys you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cross Keys may decide 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 residence.
My partner has recommend that I use his conveyancers in Cross Keys. Should I use them?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Cross Keys conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to select a conveyancing lawyer is to get feedback from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the firm you're considering.
