Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kingston

I am purchasing a property without a mortgage in Kingston. I have lived for the last twelve years in Kingston. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I have knowledge of the area and road very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

If you not getting a mortgage, then all but one or two of the Kingston conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will try and sway you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to do this. Do bear in mind; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it will likely be be of relevance to your future purchaser what the searches contain. Sometimes properties with apparent issues can still show up unfavourable search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Kingston will be able to give you some helpful advice in this regard.

This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Kingston. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Kingston?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Kingston. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be able to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen early afternoon.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Kingston. I have a mortgage agreed with TSB. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.

My offer on a property in Kingston has been agreed to, the vendors do nevertheless have a connected purchase. The owners have offered on on an apartment, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Kingston. What should be my next step? At what point do I apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance?

It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Kingston conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should check that your solicitor is on the Kent Reliance approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much depends on the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some home buyers would apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their lawyer to move forward with the conveyancing in Kingston.

I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for delay in Kingston conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the top 10 causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Kingston.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Kingston and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Kingston. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Kingston area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Kingston. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

We have chosen a Kingston conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (novice purchasers) and have noticed in the engagement letter that they are not covered by the Financial Conduct Authority. Need I be worried or is that usually the case with lawyer?

We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. They should be regulated by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who dictate specific stipulations in relation to monies held in their bank.
