We know of a number of niche lawyers we can connect you with those conducting auction conveyancing. Tonbridge is one of the many areas of in which our lawyers have a presence.

When it comes to lenders such as RBS, do Tonbridge conveyancing practitioners have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?

We are not aware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do charge an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

We are getting a further advance on our home loan from RBS as we intend to conduct improvements to our property in Tonbridge. Are we obliged to select a nearby Tonbridge solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

RBS don't usually appoint firms on their conveyancing panel to deal with the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the RBS panel.

I have instructed a Tonbridge conveyancing practitioner having made sure that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Coventry BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Coventry BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Tonbridge surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that could affect a commercial land in Tonbridge?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Tonbridge will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Tonbridge. The report provides definitive information 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 Tonbridge.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Tonbridge 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 could result in delays to Tonbridge commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future plans for the site.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Tonbridge I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Tonbridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I am 3 weeks into a leasehold purchase having been directed to solicitors by the estate agent to perform conveyancing in Tonbridge. We are not happy. Could you help me find new conveyancers?

A lawyer would need to be very poor to suggest changing them. Has your mortgage been sent? In the event that it has you must advise them of the new contact details and get the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. Your conveyancer needs to be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid supplemental charges and frustration. That should be your first question of the new lawyers. Our find a solicitor tool will help you find a lender approved lawyer for your conveyancing in Tonbridge

My estate agent has suggested using their lawyer for our conveyancing in Tonbridge - Is it not simpler easier to just instruct them?

It is worth checking if the selling agent is recommending a conveyancing practitioner or introducing to a property lawyer. There are plenty of Tonbridge estate agents who recommend two or three Tonbridge conveyancing firms and get nothing from it.
