Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ruxley

IfI were to purchase a freehold homein Ruxley mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much would I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Ruxley?

Any savings you would make will be limited to the costs for searches. A solicitor is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, liaising with the sellers conveyancing practitioner, stamp duty submission, register the property etc. A marginal saving might be made by not needing to register a charge but it will not be significant.

In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Ruxley? What am I being asked for?

It is indeed that case that the requirement set out by your lawyer has nothing to do with conveyancing in Ruxley. However these days you will not be able to proceed with any conveyancing process if you have not handing over proof of your identity. Ordinarily this takes the form of a either your passport or driving licence and a council tax bill. Remember if you are supplying your driving licence as proof of identification it must be both the paper element and photo card part, one is not acceptable without the other.

Verification of your source of monies is necessary under Money Laundering Regulations. Please do not be offended when when this is requested of you as your conveyancing solicitor must have this information on record. Your Ruxley conveyancing lawyer will need to see evidence of proof of funds before they are able to accept any monies from you into their client account and they will also ask additional queries regarding the source of monies.

Please explain the implications if my solicitor is suspended from the Barclays Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Ruxley?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. 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 for a fee.

Will our conveyancer be raising enquiries about flooding as part of the conveyancing in Ruxley.

Flooding is a growing risk for conveyancers dealing with homes in Ruxley. Some people will buy a house in Ruxley, completely aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, if a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or dispose of the property. Steps can be carried out during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the buyer.

Conveyancers are not best placed to offer advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that can be undertaken by the purchaser or by their solicitors which should give them a better understanding of the risks in Ruxley. The conventional set of property information forms sent to a buyer’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) includes a usual question of the owner to discover if the premises has historically flooded. If flooding has previously occurred which is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer could bring a claim for damages stemming from an inaccurate response. A buyer’s solicitors will also carry out an enviro search. This will higlight whether there is any known flood risk. If so, further investigations should be made.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Ruxley. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?

It best that you clear the invoice as usual because all ground rent and maintenance payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such matters? Can you recommend a Ruxley conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?

Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Ruxley conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Ruxley property is 103a Footscray Road in January 2014. The tribunal determines that the premium payable for the extended lease should be £34,500 according to the expert witness valuation calculation This case was in relation to 1 flat.
