  • 1 Lawyer conveyancing lawyers have excellent personal connections with Coulsdon selling agents and work very closely with them and local surveyors so as to ensure transactions proceed expeditiously.
  • 2 The mark of a good conveyancing solicitor in Coulsdon is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by national chain estate agents) sometimes falls short of the level of professionalism you will expect.
  • 3 There is a distinct possibility the other side’s lawyers are based in Coulsdon - if so sets of conveyancers will be on good working terms
  • 4 Excellent communication together with pure property local knowledge are key benefits that you should seek when selecting conveyancing solicitors.

The lawyers listed endeavour to make sure that communication channels are open and act on arising issues and developments instantly.
  • 5 No matter what any alternative companies inform you it could be important to attend your solicitor to sign documents. Too many 3rd parties are already engaged in a homemove without having to add Royal Mail into the pot.

The primary upside of using a local Coulsdon conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute documents, deliver your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Coulsdon know how is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Coulsdon. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Coulsdon - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I own a ground-floor 1950’s flat in Coulsdon. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the premium due for the purchase of the freehold?

if there is a absentee landlord or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to assess the premium.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Coulsdon flat is 223 Brighton Road in September 2013. The premium payable for the acquisition freehold of the properties should be £10,934 (Ten thousand,nine hundred and thirty four pounds) This case affected 3 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 75 years.
