Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fulham

At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Fulham and do I need to be at the solicitors office?

Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Fulham you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a national conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the property agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Fulham)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that may affect a commercial property in Fulham?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Fulham will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers spend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Fulham. The search result sets out definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Fulham.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Fulham it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

You no longer need to have the physical original deeds to prove you own the land or property, as the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

I am using a search engine for the phrase conveyancing in Fulham it shows results of many conveyancersin the area. How do I determine which is the suitable conveyancing solicitor for me?

The ideal way of seeking the right conveyancer is through a personal testimonial, so seek the counsel of colleagues and those you trust who have bought a property in Fulham or a local estate agent or financial adviser. Fees for conveyancing in Fulham vary, so it's advisable to request at least four fee calculations from varying types of property lawyers. Make sure that you clarify that the charges are assured not to escalate.

I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Fulham where we see a number of flat sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Fulham conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?

As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

I have had difficulty in trying to purchase the freehold in Fulham. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Fulham conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Fulham flat is 66 and 66a Wardo Avenue in November 2012. The Tribunal determined that the sum of £8,048 is payable by the Applicants in respect of the price for the freehold of the property This case related to 2 flats. The unexpired term was 93 years and 162 years.

I am short of a 10% deposit on my flat purchase in Fulham , but I am keen go ahead. What can I do?

You can accept a smaller deposit. Many property owners will agree to a lower deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.

You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
