I bought my flat on 1 September and my personal details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Chislehurst said it will be formalised in less than a month. Are transfers in Chislehurst particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Chislehurst registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. Currently approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the property therefore post completion formalities is not usually top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

How does conveyancing in Chislehurst differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Chislehurst approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Chislehurst tend to 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 conveyancers 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 Chislehurst or who has acted in the same development.

Taking into account that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a terraced house in Chislehurst I would like to talk to a conveyancer concerning thehome move prior to appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

We could not agree more - we would be pleased to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor who will be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Chislehurst.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a matter number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for your conveyancing in Chislehurst should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.

Am I best advised to appoint a Chislehurst conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can conduct the legal work however they are based over three hundred kilometers drive away.

The benefit of a local Chislehurst conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust used your friend and they were happy that must trump using an unknown Chislehurst conveyancing solicitor just because they are round the corner.

Being a leasehold owner I am liable for a service charge for my property in Chislehurst. Due to redundancy and personal issues I slipped behind with remittance. The management company agreed a settlement schedule but there is still approximately £2000 remaining in arrears.

I am under pressure to sell and I am panicking this can threaten to derail the sale if I have to pay off the amount due in advance. Do I have to settle before - is this practicable?

Do clarify with the lawyer dealing with your Chislehurst conveyancing but it may be possible to arrange for the outstanding amount to be transferred to the purchasers. The purchase price they pay would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they take on. They would then discharge the fees after completion of the sale.
