Buying a house in Burton
Burton upon Trent is – somewhat predictably – located on the River Trent in East Staffordshire. With a population of over 70,000, Burton has a great range of property to suit all manner of budgets.
At My Home Move Conveyancing we constantly develop our knowledge of local property markets, allowing us to deliver our customers a specialist, fixed fee conveyancing service.
You’ll need to instruct the services of a lawyer to complete the legal work on your behalf when buying or selling property in Burton.
Let My Home Move Conveyancing do this for you as your conveyancer in Burton, and take advantage of our award winning customer service, innovative use of technology and detailed knowledge of the local market. Our conveyancing service comes for a fixed fee, meaning there are no extra hidden costs to worry about. If for some reason you don’t end up moving, you won’t have to pay us a thing in legal costs.
You will be assigned a dedicated conveyancer who will look after your case from start to finish, providing you with regular updates to complement the online access you will have to your account with us. At My Home Move Conveyancing we are pleased to supply our conveyancing services in Burton to customers purchasing homes across the area, including the town centre and spots on the outskirts such as Stapenhill and Winshill with their close proximity to the river.

The local area
Although there was a Roman road that ran through the spot where Burton now lies, the town mainly grew up around Burton Abbey, which was refounded as a Benedictine abbey at the beginning of the 11th century. Burton has a strong history in brewing and exporting beer, while the town has plenty of modern amenities that complement the Thursday market that has been taking place for over 800 years.
Burton offers a close proximity to Birmingham with strong transport links that make it a viable commuter town for those preferring to live in a quieter area. A train to Birmingham New Street takes less than half an hour, while it is little over 10 minutes to get to Derby. The M1 motorway passes to the east of town, linking Burton with Sheffield and Leeds in the north and London in the south. East Midlands Airport is less than 20 miles away, while Birmingham Airport is approximately 10 miles further away. It’s also fairly easy to get to local towns such as Lichfield and Tamworth.
There are some excellent school in the area for parents of younger children to take into account, such as Shobnall Primary, Richard Crosse CofE and All Saints CofE in nearby Alrewas. Options at secondary level include John Taylor High School, Abbot Beyne School and Paulet High School in Stapenhill.

What's involved
Once you have your offer accepted, it’s time to get the ball rolling on legally transferring the ownership to you. Here’s how we do things at My Home Move Conveyancing.
First, your estate agents will send us a copy of the Memorandum of sale, which provides the details of the property, the amount offered and the name of the sellers and buyers and their conveyancers. You will be asked to complete your details and provide to us your instructions along with primary ID such as a passport or driving licence and proof of residence in the form of a bank statement/utility bill.
If you are selling a house, you will need a Conveyancer to act for you – that’s where we come in!
You will be asked by us to complete your details and provide your instructions along with primary ID such as a passport or driving licence and proof of residence in the form of a bank statement/utility bill. You will also be asked to fill in a Property Information form including some specific details about the property, its boundaries, any alterations to the property etc. If you have any additional paperwork such as planning permissions or notices, then these will be required by us to send with the contract papers. We will also ask you to complete a Fixtures, Fittings and Contents form to say what you will be taking and leaving behind. If the property is leasehold, you will be asked for information about who you pay ground rent and services charges to…
After we have received your instructions to act we will check the legal issues and title to your property to ensure it offers a satisfactory security for your new lender, as this is the essence of a mortgage.
We will also check the amounts outstanding on any current mortgage registered on the property as these will have to be repaid at completion. The amounts will be confirmed with you.
Usually, we will not carry out Local, Drainage or Mining (if appropriate) searches as we will put in place an insurance which will protect your lender. This is less expensive for you and quicker. Some lenders still require that searches are made and will not rely on insurance. If this is the case the searches will have to be made and the cost will show on the Financial Statement sent to you.
At about the same time that you receive your Mortgage Offer we receive a copy together with the lender’s instructions to act for them. We will consider the Offer to ensure that we do those things required of us as the solicitors and to check what other conditions have to be satisfied.
We will then send you the Mortgage Deed to sign and any other documentation that may be required by your lender. We shall need to have this back from you as soon as possible and certainly by the day before we complete. Otherwise there will be a delay.
You need to check that the Mortgage Offer is acceptable to you. For example, is the mortgage amount and mortgage product correct? Is it the correct method of repayment? Are there any early repayment fees?
We target a completion date for 7 days after we receive our copy of the Mortgage Offer but our being able to complete depends on the terms of the Offer and any peculiarities of your transaction.
If the new mortgage amount is less than the amount we have to pay to your existing lender, we will ask for the difference from you, before the completion date.
Following completion we deal with the registration formalities to ensure the mortgage security is perfected for your lender and any deeds will then be sent to your lender for safe-keeping.
Note – If your property is leasehold, we also:
Request your landlord to confirm that all ground rent, service charges and insurance premiums (if applicable) have been paid to date and that there is no known breach of the lease.
Have to approve the wording of the lease.
Have to serve on the landlord a notice of discharge of your existing mortgage and a notice that a new mortgage has been given to your new lender.
