Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Notting Hill

We were about to choose a conveyancing solicitor in Notting Hill recommended by you but stumbled across some other quotes via the web appear cheaper – how come?

You can find many firms of conveyancers marketing at first sight what seems to be cut price. We would urge you to think long and hard about how important this transaction is to you that you are willing to be penny wise pound foolish concerning the quality of the legal work. Some embed fees well inside the terms of business. The conveyancers that we put forward for conveyancing in Notting Hill neverdo this.

I own a freehold premises in Notting Hill yet charged rent, why is this and what is this?

It’s unusual for properties in Notting Hill and has limited impact for conveyancing in Notting Hill but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the establishment of fresh rentcharges from 1977 onwards.

Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be dispensed with completely.

We're in Notting Hill, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Lloyds , and our solicitor is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Lloyds conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

How does conveyancing in Notting Hill differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Notting Hill come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Notting Hill tend to buy the site, 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 property lawyers 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 Notting Hill or who has acted in the same development.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Notting Hill before appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks tend not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold property.

It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you contact us we can check via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Notting Hill. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

Do I need to be suspicious about brokers that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Notting Hill conveyancing practice?

As with many professional services, often input from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are many parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may put forward lawyers to choose. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are free to select your own lawyer. However, bear in mind that the majority of banks have an approved list of conveyancers you must use for the lender related work in your transaction.
