Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Surrey Quays

As someone clueless as to the Surrey Quays conveyancing process what is your top tip you can impart concerning the home moving process in Surrey Quays

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Surrey Quays or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, selling agent and on occasion the mortgage company. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Surrey Quays is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the process whose interest is to act in your best interests and to protect you.

Every so often a third party with a vested interest may attempt to persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may tell you to do take action that is contrary to your lawyers advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property are lost. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Surrey Quays 10 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

In today’s world there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should know exactly where to look for all the suitable paperwork so you can purchase or dispose of your property without a hitch. If duplicates are not available, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities against future claims on the property.

I am buying my first flat in Surrey Quays benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not reveal to my solicitor about the extras as it would affect my loan with TSB. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Surrey Quays and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Surrey Quays. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Surrey Quays area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Surrey Quays. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

We expect to complete our sale of a £325,000 apartment in Surrey Quays next week. The management company has quoted £360 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Surrey Quays?

Surrey Quays conveyancing on leasehold flats nine out of ten times involves fees being levied by managing agents :

    Completing pre-contract questions Where consent is required before sale in Surrey Quays Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Surrey Quays leasehold property is £350. For Surrey Quays conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to provide the information.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can a leaseholder make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Surrey Quays conveyancing firm to help?

if there is a absentee freeholder or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to make a decision on the premium.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Surrey Quays flat is 12, 14 & 16 Hull Close in May 2010. the Tribunal determined that the premium payable for the acquisition of the freehold to the subject premises was the sum of £18,300 This case affected 3 flats. The unexpired lease term was 101.61 years.

Much to my surprise my lawyer in Surrey Quays has informed me that he requires proof of ID documents stating that this forms part of his retainer as a solicitor on the bank Conveyancing panel. Is this right?

Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the mortgage company. This is not unique to conveyancing in Surrey Quays
