We hired a Hampstead based lawyer for my conveyancing in Hampstead yesterday. Looking through the fine print it is apparent thatwe are liable for fees even if the sale aborts. Would I be best advised to instruct an on-line conveyancing company promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Hampstead?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to neutralise those cases that do not proceed. Dont forget that such offerings tend not to cover outlay e.g. Hampstead conveyancing search expenses.
I am planning to acquire a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Hampstead who is on the Clydesdale approved. Can you recommend a local firm?

A conveyancer would need to be really poor to suggest diss instructing them. Has the mortgage been sent? If so you need to advise them of the new contact details and get the mortgage documents are re-issued. The conveyancer needs to be on the lenders panel to avoid supplemental expenses and frustration.

Looking forward to sign contracts shortly on a studio apartment in Hampstead. Conveyancing solicitors have said that they will have a report out to me tomorrow. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?
The report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Hampstead should include some of the following:
-
The length of the lease term. You should be advised as what happens when the lease ends, and informed of the importance of not letting the lease term falling below eighty years Defining your legal entitlements in respect of common areas in the block.E.G., does the lease provide for a right of way over an accessway or staircase? Whether the lease restricts you from letting out the property, or working from home What options are open to you if a neighbour is in violation of a provision in their lease? The landlord’s rights to access the property. You should be made aware that your landlord has rights of access as well as be informed how much notice must be provided.
After years of dialogue we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Hampstead. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to calculate the price.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Hampstead property is Raised Ground Floor Flat 20 Fitzjohns Avenue in July 2014. the Tribunal decided that the premiums to be paid for new leases in respect of the Raised Ground Floor Flat and the First Floor Flat were to be calculated as: Raised Ground Floor: £765,175.14 First Floor: £601,617.77 This case affected 2 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 16.83 and 16.43.
