  • 1 The Ham conveyancing practitioners that we work with are committed to providing the most cost, efficient and transparent conveyancing service to home buyers, sellers and remortgagors in Ham
  • 2 Retaining the services of a high street Solicitor usually results in a more personal touch. When using a an online conveyancing factory, you tend to be looked after by a team of people who who progress matters by reading from their computer screens.
  • 3 Solicitor conveyancing solicitors have extremely good personal links with Ham estate agents and work very closely with them and local surveyors so as to ensure transactions proceed expeditiously.
  • 4 Low cost packages from online conveyancers might be tempting. However, these firms are often based hundreds of kilometers away with limited understanding of the factors that affect property transactions in Ham
  • 5 The hallmark of our conveyancing solicitors in Ham is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by national chain estate agents) sometimes falls short of the high standards of professionalism you will expect.

Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ham

We are nearing an exchange on a flat in Ham and my parents have sent the exchange deposit to my solicitor. I am now informed that as the deposit has not come from me my conveyancer needs to disclose this to my lender. I am advised that, in also acting for the mortgage company he must inform them that the balance of the purchase price is not just from me. I disclosed to the bank concerning my parents' contribution when I applied for the mortgage, so is it really necessary for this now to be an issue?

Your property lawyer is duty bound to clarify with mortgage company to ensure that they know that the balance of the purchase price is not from your own resources. Your solicitor can only reveal this to your bank if you agree, failing which, your lawyer must cease to continue acting.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to instruct a Ham based conveyancing firm?

You should check but the chances are that give you one of their panel lawyers where you take up the "fee-free" incentive. Contact the bank to ask if they offer you a monetary alternative. Some lenders have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Ham.

My uncle informed me that in purchasing a property in Ham there may be a number of restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external alterations to the property. Is this right?

We are aware of a number of properties in Ham which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Ham should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

We are due to move home in May. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Ham. Conveyancing firm was found prior to coming across this website.

On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the estate agent but this can only occur once the sellers conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. You will need to tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Ham or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Ham.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Principality. Is it usual for Principality to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Ham is approved on their conveyancing panel? Principality have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Principality to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Principality conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I used Arc property Solicitors several years ago for my conveyancing in Ham. Now, I need the documents however cannot find the solicitor. What do I do?

Do contact the Solicitors Regulatory Authority (SRA) to help locate 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 Ham of the conveyancing firm of solicitors you previously used, the name of conveyancing solicitor with whom you had dealings, and the date on which you last had dealings with the firm.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Ham. 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.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Ham

    Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? 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. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Ham is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Ham are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ham may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
