Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Ruxley

We instructed a Ruxley based firm for our conveyancing in Ruxley last week. After carefully reading the fine print I notewe are responsible for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and appoint a web based conveyancing company advertising no completion no charge conveyancing in Ruxley?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to neutralise those conveyances that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that such schemes rarely cover disbursements e.g. Ruxley conveyancing search fees.

Our god-son is purchasing a newly built flat in Ruxley with a mortgage from Barclays. His lawyer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?

The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Barclays conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Barclays conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Are the BSA planning on creating a online directory to to identify law firms on the Loughborough BS conveyancing panel for instance in Ruxley?

I can see plenty of here regarding conveyancing in Ruxley but what is your top tip for finding the right conveyancer in Ruxley

Do not opt for the cheapest Ruxley conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

My wife and I have arranged the release of further funds on our mortgage from Aldermore as we intend to conduct improvements to our house in Ruxley. Do we need to select a high street Ruxley solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?

Aldermore would not normally instruct firms on their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Aldermore list.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Kent Reliance. I assume I don't need a Ruxley solicitor on the Kent Reliance panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?

If you have finished paying off your Kent Reliance mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Kent Reliance mortgage from the register. Kent Reliance, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Kent Reliance has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Kent Reliance has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Kent Reliance mortgage has been paid off.

I purchased my house on 14 January and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Ruxley said it should be formalised inside ten days. Are properties in Ruxley particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Ruxley registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I am looking at a couple of apartments in Ruxley which have in the region of 50 years unexpired on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

There are plenty of short leases in Ruxley. The lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease reduces and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.

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

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