Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bickley

I am looking for value for money conveyancer. Should I go for for a nationwide conveyancer as opposed to a high street Bickley conveyancing lawyer?

Bickley is a unique place, where regional insight counts for a lot. The relaxed pace of life is great – but not when it comes to your house move. The conveyancers that we recommend display deep Bickley insight with a proactive, hands-onapproach that helps everything runs smoothly. It will certainly help where they enjoy long term relationships with mortgage brokers, local authorities, valuers and other Bickley conveyancing practices

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Bickley. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Bickley?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

I am purchasing a terrace house in Bickley. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to ascertain if these alterations are prohibited?

Your conveyancer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Bickley can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain changes or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Certain extensions need local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

Barclays have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a apartment in Bickley has been agreed to, now what?

The estate agent will wish to be informed of your lawyer's details (be sure the property lawyers are on the bank’s approved list). Call up Barclays or the broker and finish off any appropriate forms. Barclays will instruct a valuer who will get in touch with the estate agent or owners to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. Barclays will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Bickley.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Bickley. Conveyancing is daunting 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.

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Bickley

    Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Bickley in advance of instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders will not give a mortgage on this type of property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can check with the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Bickley. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Bickley especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Bickley.

Am I right to be suspicious that 3rd parties that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Bickley conveyancing practice?

As is the case with lots of professional services, often referrals from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are lots of parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all suggest lawyers to select. Sometimes these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that many banks specify a panel list of solicitors you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your house move.

If instructed can a conveyancer remove a person from the title of my home in Bickley ?

Subtracting or adding someone to the title of your house is relatively straightforward. You’ll need to appoint a conveyancing practitioner to discuss your legal rights before you can proceed with a transfer of property. Contact us to book a free consultation with one a property lawyer
