There are a variety of conveyancing solicitors in Somerstown but how do I know who's good?
It would be unwise to be tempted by the lowest Somerstown conveyancing costs illustration. 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.
I just acquired a house at auction in Somerstown. Conveyancing is necessary. What are my next steps?
Given that you have now legally committed yourself to purchase you now have to retain a conveyancing lawyer quickly as you are faced with a fast approaching a drop dead date to complete the purchase. Every auction property will have a bespoke legal set of papers. This should include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold property the auction pack may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing paperwork relating to a leasehold property. You should hand this to your appointed conveyancing solicitor as soon as possible. Do make sure that you have funds organised to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I am planning to move house in November. Will my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Somerstown. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from the estate agent however this should only happen when the sellers conveyancers inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. Subsequently you should inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a specific removal company but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Somerstown or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Somerstown.
five months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Somerstown completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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'm buying my first flat in Somerstown benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my solicitor about this extras as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the agent advised that the seller will only move forward if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Somerstown
It is improbable the owners are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make sure they understand (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Somerstown conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures set by head office.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Somerstown. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Somerstown - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
