Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Charterhouse

When it comes to mortgage companies such as Kent Reliance, do Charterhouse conveyancers have to pay an annual charge to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are unaware of any bank fees to register on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

My wife and I are in the throws of looking at flats in Charterhouse and I am about to put in an offer. Is it premature to have a solicitor in place? I am planning to take a home loan with Principality.

It would be wise to start your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and pass their details on to the estate agent. As you are taking out a mortgage with Principality, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Principality conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

Having read lots of house buying guides, I note that they all recommend that you should get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Charterhouse solicitor - who is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

Bank of Ireland will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Bank of Ireland will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Charterhouse surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

My partner and I are selling our home in Charterhouse and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Charterhouse. We have lived in Charterhouse for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)

My wife and I have a terraced Victorian house in Charterhouse. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Chelsea Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?

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

How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial premises in Charterhouse and how can your lawyers assist?

The 1954 Act affords a safeguard to commercial lessees, granting the a statutory right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Charterhouse is one of our numerous areas of the UK in which our lawyers have offices

Should I appoint a Charterhouse conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can conduct the legal work however they are based over three hundred kilometers drive away.

The benefit of a local Charterhouse conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to sign documents, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and in the main were happy that should trump using an unknown Charterhouse conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.

I was told by my mortgage company that their approved lawyers work on no sale no charge basis for conveyancing in Charterhouse. My purchase did not proceed nevertheless the solicitors have invoiced for search fees! They are stating that the fees are nothing to do with their fees!

Charterhouse conveyancing search costs are separate expenses not legal costs as these are payable to a third party.
