As far as conveyancing in Rothley registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration takes place once the buyer is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am buying a new build apartment in Rothley. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Rothley

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. 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. 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. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
