Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Grove who completed the legal work two years ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of similar values with a home loan from HSBC Bank. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative conveyancer?
The costs illustration is slightly on the high side. If you you were to look around you might shave off some of the cost by say £100 plus VAT. That being said, providing that you were content with the service the firm gave you mightlive to rue opting for an an untested conveyancer. Remember to ensure that the solicitor can also act for HSBC Bank. You can use our search tool to locate a Grove conveyancing firm on the HSBC Bank conveyancing panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Grove.

My wife and I are planning on selling our house in Grove and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Grove. Having lived in Grove for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with 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 sickness)
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Grove. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Grove
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
