I hired a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Stockwell yesterday. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for costs even where the transaction does not complete. Should I go with them or select an on-line solicitor practice offering no completion no charge conveyancing in Stockwell?
Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to neutralise the cases that abort. Do bear in mind that these arrangements generally do not cover expenditure such as Stockwell conveyancing search charges.
I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a local conveyancing solicitor in Stockwell?
Do check but the chances are that appoint one of their panel solicitors if you take up the "fee-free" deal. Speak to the bank and check if they make available a monetary alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Stockwell.
Will commercial conveyancing searches disclose proposed roadworks that may impact a commercial property in Stockwell?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Stockwell will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Stockwell. The search result sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Stockwell.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Stockwell it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately may cause delays to Stockwell commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not conducted for domestic conveyancing in Stockwell.
three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Stockwell completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 property 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.
In my capacity as executor for the estate of my father I am disposing of a house in Monmouth but I am based in Stockwell. My lawyer (who is 250 kilometers awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec ahead of the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Stockwell who can attest this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily any notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Stockwell based
