As someone with no idea as to the Roade conveyancing process what is your top tip you can give me concerning the ownership transfer in Roade
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Roade or throughout Northamptonshire is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for friction between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and sometimes the bank. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Roade should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose responsibility is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.
We are witnessing a definite increase of a "blame" culture- someone has to be blamed for the process being so protracted. You your first instinct should be to trust your lawyer above the other players in the conveyancing process.
A colleague advised me that where I am buying in Roade I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is usually quoted for as part of the standard Roade conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out significant information about Roade around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Roade Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Roade.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Roade 5 years ago have long since closed. What are my options?
As long as the title is registered the details of your ownership will be evidenced by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to carry out a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and secure current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for twenty pounds.
I opted to have a survey carried out on a property in Roade prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks will not grant a loan on such a property.

I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for leasehold conveyancing in Roade. I've stumble upon a web site which appears to be the ideal solution If it is possible to get all formalities done via email that would be ideal. Should I 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?
