Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Crowborough

We were just about to sign contracts for a property in Crowborough. We encountered a stumbling block. The loan offer with Virgin Money runs out on 20/4/2026 but the owners are putting forward a completion date of 22/4/2026. Is it possible to prolong the loan offer?

The person best placed to address this issue is your conveyancer who will calculate if they better off negotiating with the mortgage broker, owner’s solicitors, estate agents or conceivably all parties taking into account the circumstances your conveyancing to date.

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Crowborough. I need to find out whether they are accepted on the Skipton Building Society conveyancing panel. Can you help?

The first thing to do is phone the conveyancer and enquire if they can act for the lender. Otherwise please get in touch with Skipton Building Society who may be able to confirm.

How does conveyancing in Crowborough differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Crowborough come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because developers in Crowborough typically acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Crowborough or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Crowborough is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?

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

The management company has quoted £372 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and 3 years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Crowborough?

Crowborough conveyancing on leasehold flats normally necessitates fees being levied by management companies :

    Addressing pre-contract questions Where consent is required before sale in Crowborough 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 Crowborough leasehold property is £350. For Crowborough 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 obliged to supply answers.

If you buy the flat you will have to meet this contribution, normally in instalments accross the year. This can differ from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for blocks with lifts and large common grounds. There will also be a ground rent for you to pay annual, this is usually not a significant amount, say around £50-£100 but you need to check it because occasionally it can be many hundreds of pounds.
