I am purchasing a property for cash in Piccadilly. I have lived for the last twelve years in Piccadilly. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. Given that I know the area and road very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
If you not getting a home loan, then all but one or two of the Piccadilly conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but she is duty bound to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are intend to sell the house at a future date, it will be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches contain. Sometimes premises with day to day issues can still throw up negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Piccadilly will provide you some sensible advice here.
I have been told that property searches are the main cause of obstruction in Piccadilly conveyancing transactions. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Piccadilly.
About to purchase a new build flat in Piccadilly. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Piccadilly
-
Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in Piccadilly and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to provides protection to commercial leaseholders, giving them the right to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act for protection and help with commercial conveyancing in Piccadilly
My father has suggested that I instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Piccadilly. Should I find my own solicitor?
There are no two ways about it the ideal way to choose a conveyancing solicitor is to seek guidance from friends or family who have used the conveyancer you're are thinking of instructing.
I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the mortgage company approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the bank conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the mortgage company solicitor panel.
