It has taken forever and a day but a mortgage offer from NatWest for the remortgage of my 3 bedroom garden flat is to be issued by the end of next week. Could you suggest a cheap conveyancing law firm in Crossness?
You have arrived at the wrong site to search for cut-price fees for conveyancing solicitors in Crossness. Our aim is to provide affordable conveyancing but we do not advertise as being the cheapest. Resist the temptation to appoint organisations teasing you with ninety nine pound conveyancing in Crossness. At best, in going for low cost conveyancing, you will receive what you pay for and at worst it will result in you invoiced for additional fees and still not end up with the service expected.
I am about to put an offer on a leasehold apartment in Crossness. The property agents tell me that it is the norm for flats in Crossness to have less than 75 years unexpired on the lease. I am taking out a mortgage with Platform. Is this going to be a problem if the lease has 69 years to go.
Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are obtaining a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition.

We are intent on selling our home in Crossness and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Crossness. Having lived in Crossness for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of 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 ailment)
I purchased my home on 13 September and my personal details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Crossness expressed confidence that it should be recorded in less than a month. Are properties in Crossness uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Crossness registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not always an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

The primary upside of using a local Crossness conveyancing firm is that you can visit the firm to execute paperwork, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and in the main were content that must outweigh using an unknown Crossness conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Crossness based.
