Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Midhurst

What is the first thing I need to know about purchase conveyancing in Midhurst?

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Midhurst or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the vendor, estate agent and on occasion your bank. Appointing a law firm for your conveyancing in Midhurst should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE person in the process whose responsibility is to protect your best interests and to protect you.

Sometimes a potential adversary will try and sway you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the property agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do something that is against your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

I am helping my step-mother sell her flat in Midhurst. Does the conveyancing solicitor commission the energy performance certificate or should I organise this?

Following the abolition of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was maintained a compulsory part of moving house.

If you are using a Midhurst conveyancing lawyer they might help arrange energy performance certificates due to their relationships with reputable Midhurst accredited person

We are due to move property in April. Does my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Midhurst. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your website.

On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from the estate agent but this can only be done once the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. After that you should advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in finding a conveyancing in Midhurst or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Midhurst.

I require fast conveyancing in Midhurst as I am under pressure to exchange contracts inside 4 weeks. Fortunately I do not require a mortgage. Is it possible to avoid the conveyancing searches to save money and time?

As you are not getting a mortgage you are at free not to have searches carried out although no conveyancer would advise that you don't. With lots of history conveyancing in Midhurst the following are instances of what can be revealed and therefore impact market value: Enforcement Actions, Overdue Fees, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...

3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Midhurst took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 residence 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 am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Midhurst I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Midhurst in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Is it best to choose a Midhurst conveyancing solicitor based in the location that I am purchasing? We have a good friend who can conduct the legal work however his firm is located 400miles drive away.

The benefit of a high street Midhurst conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to sign paperwork, hand in your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Midhurst know how is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and in the main were impressed that should outweigh using an unfamiliar Midhurst conveyancing solicitor just because they are round the corner.
