Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cholsey

Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Cholsey is more expensive?

Cholsey leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving appropriate notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.

The Cholsey conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Cholsey have without warning closed. They were on acting for me because I needed a firm on the RBS conveyancing panel and my previous Cholsey lawyer was not. I paid them money in advance. What should be my next steps?

Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then inform them immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Hopefully they will be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the RBS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers should be in a position to assist.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Cholsey prior to appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will refuse to give a mortgage on this type of premises.
