My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Chertsey. I need to find out whether they are on the Accord Mortgages Ltd approved list of lawyers. Could you help?
The first thing to do is contact your solicitor and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you can get in touch with Accord Mortgages Ltd who may be able to assist.
How does conveyancing in Chertsey differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Chertsey come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Chertsey tend to buy the land, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Chertsey or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Chertsey is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Chertsey are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Chertsey you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chertsey may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor for my conveyancing in Chertsey. I happened to discover a web site which looks to be the perfect answer If there is a chance to get all the legals done via email that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?
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?
I only have Sixty One years unexpired on my lease in Chertsey. I need to get lease extension but my freeholder is absent. What should I do?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have used your best endeavours to locate the landlord. In some cases a specialist may be useful to try and locate and to produce an expert document which can be used as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a property lawyer both on investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Chertsey.
Having spent years of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Chertsey. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the LVT to make a decision on the premium.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Chertsey flat is 147 Redford Close in June 2012. The Tribunal determined the lease extension premium to be at £4,200 This case related to 1 flat. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 82.93 years.
On the hunt for a conveyancing solicitor in Chertsey. I thought I had one sorted but he's not on the approved list of Santander. It would appear that these days most mortgage companies only allow conveyancing practitioners on their panel. Very frustrating restricting the choice for the paying public. Can you recommend a good Chertsey conveyancing practitioner that will act for us as well as represent Santander?
The purpose of this site is restricted to being a directory service for conveyancers who want to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Santander in certain areas for instance Chertsey . We dont recommend any particular solicitor.
