Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Bloomsbury

My best friend’s dad is a conveyancer. I am hopeful that I will be offered friends and family rates for conveyancing, but if not, what level of costs would I typically be looking at for conveyancing in Bloomsbury?

It’s wise to get 3 or more like-for-like conveyancing estimates. Do use our search tool on this site. You will notice that amounts may vary but the service one can expect differ between solicitors as is the case with the vast majority of professional services.

Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Bloomsbury is more expensive?

Bloomsbury leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving applicable notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.

This question may be naive but I am new to the process as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Bloomsbury. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Bloomsbury?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

About to purchase flat in Bloomsbury. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bloomsbury property lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Nationwide. Is it usual for Nationwide to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Bloomsbury is approved on their conveyancing panel? Nationwide have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that could impact a commercial property in Bloomsbury?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Bloomsbury will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers spend in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Bloomsbury. The report sets out definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Bloomsbury.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Bloomsbury it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately may cause delays to Bloomsbury commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not ordered for domestic conveyancing in Bloomsbury.

Me and my brother own a renovated Georgian house in Bloomsbury. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Bloomsbury and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.

Been searching for a solicitor for freehold sale conveyancing in Bloomsbury. We are selling, uncomplicated no mortgage to pay off, no hurry, currently empty. Had an estimate from a conveyancer for £1000 including VAT which is a little high considering its so straightforward. Can I pay less for conveyancing in Bloomsbury?

Given that it’s a sale only, 475 + VAT would be about the best for a Bloomsbury solicitor firm.
