There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Moor Park but how do I know who I should use?
We would encourage you not to go for the lowest Moor Park conveyancing fees. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as a first time purchaser of a garden flat in Moor Park. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Moor Park?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Moor Park. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the owner’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be able to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
Is it the case that all Moor Park conveyancing solicitors on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel are overseen by the SRA?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Virgin Money approved list of solicitors they would need to be regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many lenders do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel and in that case the practice would be governed by the CLC.
What can a local search inform me about the house my wife and I buying in Moor Park?

How does conveyancing in Moor Park differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Moor Park contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Moor Park typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Moor Park or who has acted in the same development.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Moor Park. Before I get started I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Moor Park - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
Following years of negotiations we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Moor Park. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?

We are in the process of buying a house in Moor Park. Can the property lawyer have our transaction price private from sites such as Rightmove. Is this possible and how?
HM Land Registry as a matter of law required to specify price sold data on the official title for domestic properties nationwide which includes properties in Moor Park. The register of title is a public document, so HM Land Registry would be breaching their statutory obligations if they did not allow access to the register.
In essence you can make a request of HMLR to hide the price paid data however the response will be in the negative.
