Me and my partner are acquiring our first property. The conveyancing practitioner has e-mailedto see if we want to purchase supplemental conveyancing searches. Frankly we have no idea as to what's appropriate for conveyancing in Piccadilly
The scope of Piccadilly conveyancing searches should be dictated primarily on the premises, the location, the probability of any of these risks, your knowledge of the region and risks, your general appetite to risk. What matters is that you adequately understand what information each search could supply. Then you can make a decision if you personally think you need that information. Where you are unsure, ask your conveyancing practitioner to guide you.

The primary upside of using a local Piccadilly conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, present your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary.

If you know people who instructed your friend and the majority were impressed that must surpass using an unfamiliar Piccadilly conveyancing lawyer just because they are Piccadilly based.
We expect to complete the disposal of our £150,000 apartment in Piccadilly in just under a week. The managing agents has quoted £336 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and previous years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Piccadilly?
Piccadilly conveyancing on leasehold flats normally involves the buyer’s solicitor submitting enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to these enquiries most will be willing to assist. They are entitled to invoice a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it is in excess of £800. The management information fee invoiced by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of rights and obligations in relation to administration fees, otherwise the invoice is technically not due. Reality however dictates that you have little option but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.
After years of negotiations we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Piccadilly. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
