Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lee

A mortgage agreement from Santander for the refinancing of my 4 room apartment is expected within the next few days. Could you suggest a low cost conveyancing solicitor in Lee?

This site is not designed to assist those in their quest for the lowest fares for conveyancing in Lee. We can offer you excellent value conveyancing but our intention is not to advertise as being the cheapest. Avoid the trap of appointing organisations offering low cost conveyancing in Lee. The optimum outcome, in going for low cost conveyancing, you will receive what you pay for and at worst you will end up with a surprising uplift in additional fees and still not receive the service you were hoping for.

We have rather brash sellers who has insisted on a lock out contract with a down payment 6,000. Are such contracts appropriate for Lee conveyancing transactions?

This form of agreement is unusual in Lee, conveyancers will often try and steer clients away from them as they divert attention from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the solicitor is left exposed. In addition, there is no assurance that just because the owner has signed a lock out contract they will sell to you. They may breach the agreement if they are offered sufficient financial inducement to do so because an aggrieved claimant with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and this may not compare to the financial upside that the owner may obtain by breaking the agreement, no matter how morally reprehensible that may be.

five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Lee completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 asset 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.

Most definitely. We can put you in touch with a Lee conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Lee property is 18 Handen Road in April 2013. On 26 October 2012 District Judge Zimmels sitting at the Lambeth County Court made a Vesting Order that the Applicants be granted the right to acquire the freehold upon such terms and at such price determined by the LVT. The Tribunal arrived a figure of £39,535 as a valuation for the enfranchisement. This case was in relation to 3 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 69.05 years.

I am purchasing a house with all finances in place. I have provided solicitor with 2 distinct forms of photo identification, bank statement, multiple utility bills. Now he requires a copy from a probate lawyer stating that the funds are legitimate and that it has come from inheritance and not via illegitimate means.

In today’s world you will not be able to complete any Lee conveyancing transaction without first providing evidence of your identity to your lawyers. This usually takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a utility bill. Remember if you are providing your driving licence as evidence of ID it must be both the paper part and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other. Proof of your source of funds is required under Money Laundering laws.
