Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Edenbridge

What is the first thing I need to know regarding purchase conveyancing in Edenbridge?

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Edenbridge or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for friction between you and other parties involved in the house moving process. For instance, the seller, property agent and even potentially your mortgage company. Selecting a law firm for your conveyancing in Edenbridge is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your best interests and to protect you.

Sometimes a potential adversary will attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. For example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do take action that is contrary to your conveyancers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

My relative suggested that if I am purchasing in Edenbridge I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

This is a search is sometimes included in the estimate for your Edenbridge conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out significant information about Edenbridge around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Edenbridge Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Edenbridge Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning Edenbridge.

five months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Edenbridge took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Edenbridge I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Edenbridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

Am I right to be wary by third parties that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm rather than a local Edenbridge conveyancing practice?

As is the case with lots of professional services, often referrals from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are numerous players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders may recommend lawyers to appoint. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the right to select your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that most lenders specify a panel list of law firms you must use for the lender related work in your house move.

I am using a search engine for the words conveyancing in Edenbridge it shows results of numerous property lawyersin the area. With so much choice what is the best way to find the right conveyancer for the sale of my house?

The ideal way of finding the right conveyancer is through a trusted recommendation, so enquire of friends and relatives who have acquired a property in Edenbridge or the local estate agent or financial adviser. Fees for conveyancing in Edenbridge vary, so it's a good idea to request a minimum of four fee calculations from different conveyancers. Make sure that you know that the fees are fixed.
