Recently asked questions about conveyancing in East Molesey

At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in East Molesey and am I required to be at the conveyancers office?

If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in East Molesey you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we work with offer a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in East Molesey)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in East Molesey off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Aldermore. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

Planning on purchasing a house in East Molesey. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Barclays conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the East Molesey conveyancer is on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Yorkshire BS. Is it usual for Yorkshire BS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in East Molesey is approved on their conveyancing panel? Yorkshire BS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Yorkshire BS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I require quick conveyancing in East Molesey as I have pressure to sign on the dotted line within one month. Thankfully I do not need a mortgage. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?

As you are not obtaining a mortgage you have the choice not to have searches carried out although no solicitor would recommend that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in East Molesey the following are instances of what can arise and therefore affect market value: Enforcement Notices, Outstanding Fees, Outstanding Grants, Railway Schemes,...

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in East Molesey 10 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your lawyer will be aware exactly where to look for all the suitable documentation so you can buy or dispose of your property without any difficulty. Where copies can’t be found, your lawyer can arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your property.

Back In 2007, I bought a leasehold flat in East Molesey. Conveyancing and Coventry Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing solicitor in East Molesey who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?

First contact the Land Registry to make sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to instruct a East Molesey conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I inherited a ground-floor 1950’s flat in East Molesey. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the amount payable for the purchase of the freehold?

if there is a absentee freeholder or where there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to make a decision on the amount due.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a East Molesey flat is Flat D 15 Claremont Gardens in September 2013. TheTribunal determined in accordance with section48 and Schedule13 of the Leasehold Reform,Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 that the premium for the extended lease should be fourteen thousand one hundred and eighty seven pounds (£14,187.00) This case was in relation to 1 flat.

What can I do where I am not happy with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted our conveyancing in East Molesey?

Occasionally the level of service you receive is not as you expect, and unfortunately every so often matters do not go as planned. Nevertheless there is recourse if you were dissatisfied with your conveyancing in East Molesey. This varies from trying to resolve matters directly with them, through to reporting a lawyer to their governing body. If you remain dissatisfied you may consider enlisting the help of the Legal Ombudsman.
