Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Copse Hill

It has taken forever and a day but a loan offer from HSBC for the refinancing of my single bedroom garden flat is due imminently. Are you able to propose a cheap conveyancing practitioner in Copse Hill?

You have come to the wrong place to search for a cheap conveyancing solicitors in Copse Hill. We can offer you affordable conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Resist the temptation to appoint organisations offering low cost conveyancing in Copse Hill. Optimistically, in deciding on low cost conveyancing, you will receive what you pay for and at worst you will end up invoiced for additional fees and still not get the service you were hoping for.

We are buying a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in Copse Hill who is on the Co-operative solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Co-operative . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Copse Hill.

We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Copse Hill and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Copse Hill. Having lived in Copse Hill for three years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with 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 life insurance to cover that same sickness)

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Copse Hill is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Copse Hill are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Copse Hill you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Copse Hill 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.

We expect to complete the disposal of our £150,000 garden flat in Copse Hill next week. The freeholder has quoted £360 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and previous years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Copse Hill?

Copse Hill conveyancing on leasehold flats nine out of ten times results in administration charges raised by managing agents :

    Addressing pre-contract questions Where consent is required before sale in Copse Hill Copies of the building insurance and schedule Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Copse Hill leasehold premises is £350. For Copse Hill conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to provide answers.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can one make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Copse Hill conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?

Where there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the LVT to make a decision on the price.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Copse Hill flat is 83 Balvernie Grove in February 2012. The Tribunal assessed the price to be paid by the leaseholder to the freeholder for the lease extension pursuant to section 48 of the Leasehold Reform Housing & Urban Development Act 1993 should be£16,603.00 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 69.32 years.

Online reading suggests that Copse Hill solicitors are more costly than Copse Hill conveyancers in Copse Hill to use when purchasing a house. So is it better if I use a conveyancer or a solicitor where I am buying a property in Copse Hill.

When it comes to conveyancing in Copse Hill the costs are unlikely to vary dramatically depending on whether the legal expert is a licenced conveyancer or solicitor.
