Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Beckenham

We are planning to acquire a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Beckenham who is on the Clydesdale approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Clydesdale . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Beckenham.

Me and my partner are buying a apartment in Beckenham. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a lawyer? On completion day we will need to send our life savings into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.

My aunt pointed out to me me that in buying a property in Beckenham there could be a number of restrictions preventing external alterations to a property. Is this right?

There are a number of properties in Beckenham which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external alterations. Part of the conveyancing in Beckenham should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

We had selected conveyancers based in Beckenham on the Kent Reliance solicitor panel. They have just billed me a separate amount for dealing with the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Kent Reliance?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to charge a fee for this. The fee is not dictated by Kent Reliance but by your Beckenham conveyancer. Numerous firms on the Kent Reliance panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices include it on their overall fee.

I require expedited conveyancing in Beckenham as I have a deadline to complete in less than 4 weeks. A home loan is not required. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

If.Given you are not taking a home loan you have the choice not to do searches although no solicitor would suggest that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Beckenham the following are examples of issues that can be revealed and therefore impact market value: Refused Planning Applications, Outstanding Charges, Overdue Grants, Road Schemes,...

The deeds to our home are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Beckenham 5 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

You no longer need to have the physical original deeds to establish that you are the registered proprietor of land or property, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Beckenham is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Beckenham are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Beckenham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Beckenham may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

My partner has encouraged me to instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Beckenham. Should I use them?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Beckenham conveyancing lawyer it’s preferable to choose a conveyancing lawyer is to get referrals from friends or family who have actually previously instructed the conveyancer you're are thinking of instructing.
