Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Royal Tunbridge Wells

Do conveyancers ask for an advanced payment when it comes to conveyancing in Royal Tunbridge Wells?

If you are buying a property in Royal Tunbridge Wells your solicitor will request that you put them with funds to cover the search fees.

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is expelled from the Barclays Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Royal Tunbridge Wells?

The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Royal Tunbridge Wells completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I am looking at a couple of flats in Royal Tunbridge Wells which have in the region of fifty years unexpired on the lease term. Will this present a problem?

There are plenty of short leases in Royal Tunbridge Wells. The lease is a right to use the property for a period of time. As a lease shortens the marketability of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more expensive to extend the lease. For this reason it is generally wise to extend the lease term. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this field.
