When can the exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Buckingham and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?

If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Buckingham you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract 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 is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Buckingham)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

We are purchasing a flat in Buckingham. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a conveyancer? On the day of competition we will need to put funds into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our deposit?

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.

This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a garden flat in Buckingham. Do I pick up the keys to the property on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Buckingham?

On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Buckingham. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

I have paid off my mortgage with Barclays. I assume I don't need a Buckingham property lawyer on the Barclays panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Barclays mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Barclays mortgage from the register. Barclays, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Barclays has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Barclays has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Barclays mortgage has been paid off.

How does conveyancing in Buckingham differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Buckingham come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Buckingham tend to acquire 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 property lawyers 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 Buckingham or who has acted in the same development.

If all goes to plan we aim to complete the disposal of our £275,000 flat in Buckingham in seven days. The landlords agents has quoted £360 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in Buckingham?

Buckingham conveyancing on leasehold apartments usually necessitates administration charges invoiced by management companies :

    Completing conveyancing due diligence enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Buckingham Copies of the building insurance and schedule Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your solicitor will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Buckingham leasehold premises is £350. For Buckingham conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to provide answers.

I am the registered owner of a ground floor flat in Buckingham, conveyancing formalities finalised May 2011. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar flats in Buckingham with an extended lease are worth £185,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2085

With 60 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £20,000 and £23,000 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 are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
