Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gipsy Hill

As someone clueless as to the Gipsy Hill conveyancing process what is the number one tip you can give me concerning the ownership transfer in Gipsy Hill

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Gipsy Hill and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the seller, selling agent and even potentially your lender. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Gipsy Hill should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose responsibility is to protect your best interests and to protect you.

On occasion a potential adversary may attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. For example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

I used Action Conveyancing a few years ago for my conveyancing in Gipsy Hill. I now require my file however the law firm is no longer operating. What do I do?

You should contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to assist in tracking down your conveyancing files. They can be contacted on please contact on 0870 606 2555. Alternatively, you should use their online form to make an enquiry. You will need to provide the SRA with as much information as possible to assist their search, including the name and address in Gipsy Hill of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously instructed, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.

How does conveyancing in Gipsy Hill differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Gipsy Hill contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because developers in Gipsy Hill typically acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Gipsy Hill or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Gipsy Hill I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Gipsy Hill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may 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 existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

What makes your site different to alternative online quote calculators when it comes to conveyancing in Gipsy Hill?

At this site obtain a fixed fee costs illustration via a Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer that appreciates the issues for your conveyancing in Gipsy Hill. As opposed to estate agents and many comparison sites we do not have commission arrangements with solicitors. A large number of agents and online brokers 'recommend' the firm who pay the highest commission, as opposed to the best value conveyancing in Gipsy Hill

I am expecting to exchange buying a property in Gipsy Hill but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have negotiated reparation from the vendor of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process but the bank will not permit this. Why were they involved?

Any lawyer listed on the lender approved list is obliged to inform the mortgage company of any changes to the sale amount. If you prohibit your conveyancing practitioner to disclose the price change to your bank then they would have to refrain from acting for you and the bank.
