When can the exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Aylesbury and do I need to attend the solicitors office?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Aylesbury you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we recommend supply a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Aylesbury)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I am planning to move property in June. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Aylesbury. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent but this should only be done when the previous owners solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. After that you should inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Aylesbury or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Aylesbury.
How can we know in advance if a Aylesbury conveyancing solicitor on the Nottingham panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Aylesbury obtaining recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always suggest that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your transaction.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in February 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My purchaser’s mortgage company, TSB are being difficult. The Aylesbury solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but TSB are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
A friend recommended that where I am purchasing in Aylesbury I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?
A search of this type is usually included in the estimate for your Aylesbury conveyancing searches.

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information about Aylesbury.
Am I right to be wary that brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Aylesbury conveyancing firm?
As with lots of service providers, often suggestions from relatives can be very helpful. Nevertheless there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all put forward solicitors to appoint. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to choose your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that most lenders have an approved list of lawyers you must use for the lender related work in your home move.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Aylesbury. Conveyancing and Chelsea Building Society mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing solicitor in Aylesbury who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
First contact the Land Registry to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Aylesbury conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I bought a studio flat in Aylesbury, conveyancing having been completed July 2002. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Aylesbury with over 90 years remaining are worth £191,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2078
With only 53 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £27,600 and £31,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
