We decided to go with a Boreham based lawyer for our conveyancing in Boreham last week. Going through the official terms of business I notewe are on the hook for costs even if the dealdoes not proceed. Would I be best advised to instruct an on-line firm advertising no completion no cost conveyancing in Boreham?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to counteract the conveyances that abort. Dont forget that these deals rarely cover outlay such your Boreham conveyancing search expenses.
I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must leave my let out property in Boreham by 11/11/2026. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. Is it possible to complete in 5 weeks as I wish to avoid having to find temporary accommodation?
The normal practice is not to give notice on a rental unless you have exchanged. If you have not previously done so, notify to your solicitor and request that they chase the sellers solicitors, try to an acceptable time-line that all parties will look to achieve
It is a dozen years since I purchased my property in Boreham. Conveyancing solicitors have just been appointed on the sale but I can't find the title documents. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the mortgage company or they may stored with the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Boreham involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
How does conveyancing in Boreham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Boreham contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because developers in Boreham typically purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Boreham or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Boreham I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Boreham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Can you recommend a conveyancing solicitor in Boreham who can attest and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are Boreham based
