Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lewisham

My best friend’s brother is a conveyancer. I anticipate that I will receive mate’s fee for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of figure should I be paying for conveyancing in Lewisham?

It’s prudent to request multiple conveyancing quotes. Do use our search tool on this page. The amounts may be different but service levels do are distinct between property lawyers as is the case with most professions.

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Lewisham is more expensive?

The conveyancing fees on a leasehold property in Lewisham is often greater as compared to a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is because there is an amount of extra investigations necessary in liaising with the freeholder and management company to obtain evidence about whether the rent and maintenance charges have been paid and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the block.

My house in Lewisham is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Does the conveyancing practitioner have to be on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently at the moment.

I am planning on selling our property in Lewisham and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Lewisham. We have lived in Lewisham for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)

I am buying a new build apartment in Lewisham. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Lewisham

    There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please supply a car parking plan. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.

Do I cancel my mortgage payments with Leeds Building Society as soon as a completion date for my home sale in Lewisham has been agreed?

You would be well advised to continue meeting any mortgage payments to Leeds Building Society until the mortgage is redeemed on completion as part of your Lewisham conveyancing.
