Recently asked questions about conveyancing in North Sheen

I am planning to move house in February. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in North Sheen. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across this site.

On the day of completion you will need to collect the keys from your property agent but this can only take place when the sellers solicitors advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. You will need to advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in North Sheen or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in North Sheen.

Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. North Sheen conveyancing lawyers have been instructed. How long does it take for Bank of Ireland to issue the offer to the conveyancer?

Some lenders take longer than others. Have Bank of Ireland conducted the survey? Have you advised Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.

I have instructed a North Sheen lawyer having made sure that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own North Sheen surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Just acquired a terraced house in North Sheen , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My North Sheen conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.

As far as conveyancing in North Sheen is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the property thus 'speed' is not typically an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in North Sheen I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in North Sheen in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

In searching the internet for the term conveyancing in North Sheen it shows results of many conveyancersin the vicinity. How do I determine which is the right conveyancing solicitor for my move?

The preferential method of choosing the right conveyancer is through a personal referral, so ask colleagues and relatives who have bought a property in North Sheen or a reputable estate agent or mortgage broker. Charges for conveyancing in North Sheen vary, so it's sensible to request a minimum of four costs illustrations from different property lawyers. Be sure to seek confirmation that the costs are assured not to increase.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in North Sheen. Before I get started I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in North Sheen - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details 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.

I am the proprietor of a ground-floor 1950’s flat in North Sheen. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the sum due for a lease extension?

Absolutely. We are happy to put you in touch with a North Sheen conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a North Sheen residence is Flat 1 30 Ennismore Avenue in September 2010. the Tribunal adopted and arrived at a premium for the lease extension of £29, 900 This case was in relation to 1 flat. The remaining number of years on the lease was 68.34 years.

Our conveyancing in North Sheen completes next Friday, however the vendors I am purchasing off wants to vacate on the Saturday at 2pm. Do I accept this?

In situations where you are having a loan then your property lawyer will require that the premises arevacant on Friday - the mortgage company will demand it.
