I am in need of a conveyancer. Do I opt for an online conveyancer rather than a local Selhurst conveyancing lawyer?
Existing third party connections is an important consideration when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Selhurst conveyancers benefit from long term relationships with financial advisers and estate, local authorities, valuers and other law firms meaning you will move in shortest possible time. Possessing a sound knowledge of the local area also helps too.

When it comes to conveyancing in Selhurst obtaining recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Bank of Ireland. I assume I don't need a Selhurst solicitor on the Bank of Ireland panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Bank of Ireland 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 Bank of Ireland mortgage from the register. Bank of Ireland, 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:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Bank of Ireland has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Bank of Ireland has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Nottingham have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Selhurst has been accepted, now what?
The property agent will want to know who your solicitors are (be sure the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list). Contact Nottingham or your financial adviser and finish off any relevant documentation. Nottingham will instruct a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a week to receive the mortgage offer. Nottingham will issue the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Selhurst.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Selhurst I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Selhurst in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for leasehold conveyancing in Selhurst. I happened to chance upon a site which seems to have the ideal offering If there is a chance to get all the legals done via email that would be preferable. Should I be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
I have just started marketing my garden flat in Selhurst. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have just had a half-yearly service charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as you normally would given that all rents and maintenance payments will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
