There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Cheam but how do I know who's good?
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the cheapest Cheam conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
I am due to move property in October. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Cheam. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from your selling agent but this should only occur after the sellers solicitors advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be given over. After that you should advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Cheam or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Cheam.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Cheam conveyancing practitioners have been appointed. How long does it take for Coventry BS to forward the offer to the property lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Coventry BS completed the valuation? Have you advised Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I have a terraced Victorian property in Cheam. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Alliance & Leicester . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess 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 Cheam and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial premises in Cheam and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to provides security of tenure to business leaseholders, giving them the dueness to make a request to court for a new lease and continue in occupation when the lease reaches an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Having spent months of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Cheam. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
in cases where there is a missing landlord or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the LVT to determine the price payable.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Cheam premises is 33 The Maisonettes Alberta Avenue in June 2014. the Tribunal decided that the premium payable for the grant of a new lease be the sum of £20,680 (Twenty Thousand six hundred and eighty pounds). This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 60.43 years.
Are there common problems that you see in leases for Cheam properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Cheam. All leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain clauses are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the premises Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts.
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Birmingham Midshires, The Mortgage Works, and Bank of Ireland all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, forcing the purchaser to withdraw.
