I hired a Grove based lawyer for my conveyancing in Grove recently. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions I noteI am on the hook for fees even if the dealfalls through. Should I go with them or select an internet conveyancing company promising no move no charge conveyancing in Grove?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be higher to counteract the cases that do not go ahead. Also remember that such promotions generally do not cover outlay e.g. Grove conveyancing search costs.
We hope to to purchase with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. We have called around locally yet am unable to find a Grove conveyancing firm on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society panel. Could you help?
Feel free to take advantage of the search tool on this site. Please choose the mortgage company and type Grove or your location and you will see numerous solicitors based in Grove or near you.
I am planning on selling our property in Grove and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Grove. We have lived in Grove for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Grove. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Grove
-
Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Grove I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Grove for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may 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 owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
I'm refinancing my current home to a BTL loan with HSBC Bank and intend to use the remaining equity towards a second house. The area we are talking about is Grove. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of banks and tie in the conveyances?
Do use our comparison tool on this site to check that the lawyers are approved by both banks. Having checked that they are the conveyancer will be able to simultaneously deal with the two deals but you should talk with you conveyancer and specify your expectations and needs.
