I am searching for value for money property lawyer. Do I opt for an online conveyancer as opposed to a high street Keston conveyancing lawyer?
Existing third party relationships are another important factor to consider when appointing conveyancing lawyers. Keston law firms often have long term relationships with lenders and agents, local authorities, valuers and other conveyancing firms meaning you will move in shortest possible time. Possessing a well rounded insight into the local area is also a plus .
My god-son is about to exchange on a house that has just been built in Keston with a mortgage from Co-operative. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. This document is news to me - what is it and who needs sight of it?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Co-operative conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I need some fast conveyancing in Keston as I am under a deadline to exchange contracts within 3 weeks. Fortunately I do not need a mortgage. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save fees and time?
As you are not taking a mortgage you have the choice not to have searches carried out although no conveyancer would advise that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Keston the following are instances of what can appear and therefore impact future mortgageability: Enforcement Actions, Overdue Charges, Overdue Grants, Unadopted Roads,...
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Keston completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Keston I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Keston in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
My father-in-law has encouraged me to appoint his conveyancers in Keston. Do I follow his advice?
Much as we are happy to recommend a Keston conveyancing lawyer the best way to select a conveyancing practitioner is to seek feedback from friends or family who have previously instructed the conveyancer you're are thinking of instructing.
