Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sandwich

Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Sandwich?

If you are buying a property in Sandwich your lawyer will ask you place them with funds to cover the search fees. Normally this is needed to cover the fees of the conveyancing searches.

I have justbeen informed that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Sandwich for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Sandwich conveyancing specialists.

What makes your site different to alternative web based conveyancing solicitors when it comes to conveyancing in Sandwich?

At this site get a conveyancing quote from a Solicitor or Licensed Conveyancer that understands the issues of your conveyancing in Sandwich. As opposed to estate agents and brokerage sites we do not operate commission deals with solicitors. A large number of agents and online brokers 'recommend' the firm who pay the highest commission, rather than the best value conveyancing in Sandwich

We're FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the agent has warned us that the owners will only proceed if we use the agent's chosen lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Sandwich

We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to use your preferred Sandwich conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.

I own a leasehold flat in Sandwich. Conveyancing and HSBC Bank mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Sandwich who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?

The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to instruct a Sandwich conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I am the registered owner of a split level flat in Sandwich, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Sandwich with a long lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £65 levied per year. The lease expires on 21st October 2087

With just 61 years left to run the likely cost is going to range between £19,000 and £22,000 as well as legals.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.

Online research suggests that Sandwich solicitors are more expensive than Sandwich conveyancers in Sandwich when it comes to purchasing a property. So is it better if I use a conveyancer or a solicitor where I am buying a property in Sandwich.

When it comes to conveyancing in Sandwich the costs are unlikely to vary dramatically depending on whether the legal expert is a licenced conveyancer or solicitor.
