Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Croydon

Willappointing a Croydon conveyancing practitioner make the legal transfer of property easier?

Croydon is a unique place, where regional insight is a significant benefit. The laid-back lifestyle is great – but not when it comes to your conveyancing. The solicitors that we list possess well rounded Croydon intelligence with a positive, hands-onattitude that ensures everything runs smoothly. It is a definite plus where they benefit from established rapport with financial advisers, local authorities, valuers and counterpart Croydon conveyancing practices

I purchased a freehold house in Croydon but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Croydon and has limited impact for conveyancing in Croydon but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the creation of new rentcharges post 1977.

Old rentcharges can now be extinguished by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 is to be dispensed with completely.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Croydon. I I would like to check whether they are accepted on the Yorkshire Building Society conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

You should call your lawyer and enquire if they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you should call Yorkshire Building Society who may be able to confirm.

What does a local search tell me regarding the house I am buying in Croydon?

Croydon conveyancing often starts with the applying for local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for instance PSG The local search plays a central role in many a Croydon conveyancing purchase; that is if you wish to avoid any nasty surprises after you move into your property. The search will provide information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant 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 headings.

Are there any apps to help locate a Croydon solicitor on the Chelsea Building Society conveyancing panel? I have wheels and am prepared to travel upto 25kilometers to meet the solicitor.

You can use the facility on this website. Please choose the lender and your location and you will see a number of Croydon conveyancing lawyers located nearest you. We have listed some Croydon conveyancing firms towards the end of this page and you can telephone them to check whether they are on the Chelsea Building Society member panel

Is it best to choose a Croydon conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am purchasing? I have an old university friend who can carry out the legal formalities but his firm is located a couple of hundredkilometers drive away.

The benefit of a high street Croydon conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, deliver your identification documents and pester them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and in the main were happy that must trump using an unfamiliar Croydon conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being round the corner.
