Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a online directory to to identify practices on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Thurmaston?
We are not aware of any plans on the part of the BSA to develop such a tool.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Thurmaston and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Thurmaston conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Thurmaston. We have lived in Thurmaston for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I have todaybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Thurmaston for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to check if the premises is in your name, 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 Thurmaston conveyancing specialists.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Thurmaston. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Thurmaston and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Thurmaston. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Thurmaston area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

What makes a Thurmaston lease problematic?
Leasehold conveyancing in Thurmaston is not unique. Most leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain provisions are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts. A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the building
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Birmingham Midshires, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, and Platform Home Loans Ltd all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to pull out.
