I am looking to buy a flat and require a conveyancing solicitor in Oxted who is on the Chelsea Building Society solicitor. Can you recommend a local solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Chelsea Building Society in certain locations such as Oxted. We dont recommend any particular firm.
We are downsizing from our property in Oxted and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Oxted lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Oxted. We have lived in Oxted for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
How does conveyancing in Oxted differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Oxted come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Oxted 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 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 Oxted or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Oxted I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Oxted suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
What does commercial conveyancing in Oxted cover?
Commercial conveyancing in Oxted covers a broad array of guidance, supplied by regulated solicitors, relating to business premises. By way of example, this area of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more commonly, the assignment of existing leases or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial loans and the termination of tenancies.
I am looking for Oxted online conveyancing estimates. Can I be sure that all the Oxted practices that are listed on your site are on the lender conveyancing panel?
The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices on our directory have advised us that they are on the mortgage company panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the lender panel. To date we have not been informed by either a mortgage company or a member of the public that the data about a specific Oxted conveyancing solicitor being on the bank conveyancing panel is incorrect.
