Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Burntwood. What is the rationale as to why all Burntwood conveyancers aren't included on all lender panels?
Pre- 2008 most lenders had an approach to risk which is different than today. The financial regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into fraud which concluded: know the solicitors on your panel. Consequently, lenders have since soughtmore data from law firms about their operations and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum volume of transactions. Thousands of law practices have found themselves removed from lender panels even though they had 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms were never going to satisfy the criteria of volume of transactions the mortgage companies insisted on.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Burntwood last June yet the purchaser is e-mailing every few hours complaining that their conveyancer needs to hear from myconveyancer. What should my lawyer have done now that I have sold?
Post completion of your sale your conveyancer is obliged to send the transfer documentation and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. Where appropriate, your conveyancer must also evidence that the mortgage has been paid off to the purchasers solicitors. There are no post completion steps unique to conveyancing in Burntwood.
Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that could affect a commercial estate in Burntwood?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Burntwood will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Burntwood.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Burntwood. Conveyancing is daunting 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 are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Burntwood
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. 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. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Burntwood.Conveyancing has not commenced however I have just received a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as normal given that all rents and service charges should be allottedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially
