We hired a local lawyer for my conveyancing in Crowborough yesterday. Upon checking the official terms of business it is apparent thatwe are liable for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and select an internet conveyancing brokerage who offer no completion no cost conveyancing in Crowborough?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to cover those transactions that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that these offerings generally do not protect you from outlay for example Crowborough conveyancing search costs.
Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Crowborough?
If you are buying a property in Crowborough your lawyer will request that you place them with monies to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. Normally this is requested to cover the fees of the Local Authority Search. When the down payment is as part of the sale price then this should be asked for shortly prior to exchange of contracts. The final balance that is due should be sent to your lawyer a few days ahead of the completion date.
This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Crowborough. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Crowborough?
On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Crowborough. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the completion advance to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I am planning to move property in November. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Crowborough. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across this page.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from the selling agent however this can only occur when the vendors solicitors confirm to the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. Subsequently you should tell the removal company that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a conveyancing in Crowborough or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Crowborough.
I am buying a property in Crowborough. An unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. UBS have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?
Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with UBS your lawyer must follow the formal requirements set out in Part 2 of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for UBS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to UBS where a lease fails to meet these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not isolated to Crowborough.
What can a local search inform me concerning the property I am buying in Crowborough?
Crowborough conveyancing often starts with the submitting local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search company for example PSG The local search plays an important part in many a Crowborough conveyancing purchase; as long as you don’t want any unpleasant once you have moved into your property. The search should supply information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic areas.
I own a semi-detached Victorian property in Crowborough. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Alliance & Leicester . I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Crowborough and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
