There are numerous conveyancing solicitors in Cringleford but how do I know who I should use?
It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest Cringleford conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Cringleford. Do I collect the keys to the property on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Cringleford?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Cringleford. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be able to receive the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I am purchasing a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Cringleford. We would like to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal investigations on the property involve enquiries to see if these alterations were previously refused?
Your solicitor should check the deeds as conveyancing in Cringleford will sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prohibit certain changes or require the permission of a 3rd party. Some works call for local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Cringleford?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Cringleford. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Last December I purchased a leasehold flat in Cringleford. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
