What is the first thing I need to know regarding purchase conveyancing in Sydenham?
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Sydenham and elsewhere in South East London is often a confrontational process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for conflict between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the seller, estate agent and even potentially your lender. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Sydenham is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a potential adversary may try and persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do something that is against your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Sydenham. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Sydenham
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
I have been advised by a number of property agents in Sydenham to choose a conveyancer on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your site rather than another?
We refuse to offer any commission for directing people to this site. We found it would be just too difficult a fee as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
