Do the conveyancing lawyers indexed on your site conduct right to buy conveyancing in Thamesmead?

We work with numerous conveyancing firms who can service right to buy conveyancing matters Do get in touch with the lawyers listed in order to obtain a costs calculation.

Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Skipton Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Thamesmead?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Thamesmead. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Thamesmead?

On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Thamesmead. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be invited to pick up the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

My wife and I have organised the release of further monies on our home loan from UBS as we intend to conduct improvements to our home in Thamesmead. Are we obliged to select a bricks and mortar Thamesmead solicitor on the UBS conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

UBS would not normally instruct firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the UBS list.

Planning on purchasing a flat in Thamesmead. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Thamesmead lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel.

I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to take this when purchasing a residence in Thamesmead? or I am told that there is historic law that means some owners of property living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for repairs towards the chancel within the church. Is this suitable for conveyancing in Thamesmead?

Unless a prior acquisition of the premises completed after 12 October 2013 you may expect lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Thamesmead to continue to recommend a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

Hoping to buy a property located in Thamesmead and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Thamesmead. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Thamesmead area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

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

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a couple of apartments in Thamesmead both have in the region of fifty years unexpired on the lease term. Will this present a problem?

A lease is a right to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease shortens the value of the lease reduces and it becomes more expensive to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is advisable to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this area.

Following months of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Thamesmead. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

You certainly can. We can put you in touch with a Thamesmead conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Thamesmead property is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case related to 13 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 76 years.
