My IFA requires my Grove lawyer’ panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I obtain this. I have e-mailed my local Grove branch but they cant find it on their system.
The sensible thing to do is ask for this information from your Grove property lawyer . Most Grove law firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
It is 10 years ago since I acquired my property in Grove. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I can't find my deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with your lender or they could be archived with the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors procuring up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Grove relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Grove 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
Nowadays there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your solicitor will be aware exactly where to find all the appropriate documentation so you may purchase or sell your house without any difficulty. If copies are not available, your lawyer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on the property.
I am looking into buying my first house which is in Grove and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Grove. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Grove area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Grove. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found
My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the agent advised that the owners will only move forward if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Grove
It is improbable the sellers are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your own,trusted Grove conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Grove. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
It best that you discharge the service charge as normal given that all rents and service invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I bought a 1 bedroom flat in Grove, conveyancing was carried out 3 years ago. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Grove with a long lease are worth £180,000. The ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2084
With only 58 years unexpired the likely cost is going to range between £22,800 and £26,400 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
