Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stockwell

My husband and I are hoping to acquire a home in Stockwell and are in fact using a Stockwell conveyancing practice. Within the last couple of days our property lawyer has forwarded the sale agreement to be signed with a detailed report with the expectation that exchange is imminent. Lloyds TSB Bank have this afternoon contacted us to advise us that they have now hit a problem as our Stockwell lawyer is not on their conveyancing panel. What do we do from here?

Where you are buying a property with the assistance of a mortgage it is usual for the purchasers' lawyers to also represent the purchaser's lender. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your property lawyer should contact your lender and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You don't have to instruct a firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Stockwell solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.

At what point will exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Stockwell and do I need to attend the lawyers office?

If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Stockwell you are welcome to attend to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we work with provide a national conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Stockwell)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I require quick conveyancing in Stockwell as I am under a deadline to exchange contracts inside 3 weeks. Luckily I do not require a mortgage. Can I decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

If.Given you are not obtaining a home loan you have the choice not to have searches carried out although no conveyancer would suggest that you don't. Drawing on years of experience of conveyancing in Stockwell the following are instances of issues that can crop up and adversely affect market value: Enforcement Notices, Overdue Fees, Outstanding Grants, Unadopted Roads,...

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my garden flat in Stockwell. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge demand – Do I pay up?

The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as normal as all ground rent and maintenance invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless 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.

I am the registered owner of a first flat in Stockwell. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the sum due for a lease extension?

if there is a missing landlord or where there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to judgment on the sum to be paid.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Stockwell flat is 3 Tintern Street in February 2010. The tribunal had jurisdiction to make a decision on the price of the freehold of the subject premises and concluded that the premium should be £24,630.00 This case affected 2 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 73.69 years.

Been on the hunt for a solicitor for freehold sale conveyancing in Stockwell. I'm selling, uncomplicated no mortgage to redeem, no hurry, currently vacant. Had a quote from a conveyancer for a thousand pounds including VAT which is a tad steep given that its so straightforward. Can I pay less for conveyancing in Stockwell?

As it’s a sale only, £450 + VAT would be about the best for a Stockwell solicitor firm.
