Recently asked questions about conveyancing in King's Cross

We opted for a local firm for our conveyancing in King's Cross last week. After carefully reading the terms of engagement I notewe are responsible for charges even if the dealfalls through. Would I be best advised to instruct a web based solicitor practice promoting no move no charge conveyancing in King's Cross?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to cover those conveyances that fail to complete. Do bear in mind that such offerings generally do not protect you from expenditure such as King's Cross conveyancing search costs.

Do I find a Licenced Conveyancer or Solicitor for conveyancing in King's Cross?

There are many registered licenced Conveyancers in King's Cross and Solicitor firms in King's Cross who provide Conveyancing services We would stress that the two are supervised by regulatory bodies with both specialising in the legal work in the home buying process. They may both also handle other property legal work such as remortgage conveyancing, lease extensions and transfer of equity conveyancing.

I am helping my sister sell her property in King's Cross. Does the solicitor commission the EPC or should I organise this?

Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy performance certificates was kept a compulsory component of moving house. An energy performance certificate must be to hand prior to the property being advertised. This is not a task that solicitors ordinarily organise. Where you are using a King's Cross conveyancing practitioner they might be willing to arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with reputable local energy assessors

Can you point me to a directory of Nationwide panel solicitors in King's Cross on the Building Society Association’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the Council of Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association sites. A small selection of lending institutions make their panel listings viewable on the web. If you are in need of a King's Cross conveyancing practitioner on the Nationwide please make the most of our facility.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one near me in King's Cross I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in King's Cross in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

Do I need to be suspicious about brokers that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street King's Cross conveyancing company?

As is the case with many service providers, often suggestions from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are numerous players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders may recommend solicitors to use. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are free to select your own lawyer. You need to be aware that many banks have an approved list of solicitors you must use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.

I am 14 days into a freehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the local agent to perform conveyancing in King's Cross. We are not happy. Can you help me find new lawyers?

A conveyancer would need to be really poor in order to consider changing them. Has your loan offer been issued? If so you will need to advise them of the new conveyancer and ensure the offer are re-sent. The conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company panel to avoid escalating fees and delays. So that should be your first question of the new lawyers. The find a solicitor tool can assist you in finding a bank approved solicitor for your conveyancing in King's Cross

We are FTB’s just having agreed a price on a property in King's Cross, and are now looking to get solicitors instructed. I have utilised the numerous comparison based websites and the fee estimates are from all across the England and Wales. Is it critical to have a King's Cross property lawyer local to your prospective new home? We are willing to do everything electronically, but I guess at some stage we may need to physically go into the solicitor's office to sign documents?

The property lawyer does not have to be in King's Cross, but opting for local means that you can attend their offices if required, for instance, if a signature is immediately necessary. Also, a King's Cross solicitor have established relationships with local agents and (if the vendor has chosen a local conveyancing practitioner) with them, which should help smooth the process.
