I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and must vacate my let out apartment in Uxbridge by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Can I complete in three weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?
It is unwise to provide notice on a rental until exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not already done so, contact to your lawyer and urge them to they apply pressure on the owners lawyers, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will look towards
At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Uxbridge and do I need to attend the solicitors office?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Uxbridge you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. That being said, the law practices we recommend provide a national conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to address the formalities 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 an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Uxbridge)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
we are a couple who decided to purchase a newly converted flat in Uxbridge with a residential mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd.We have a Uxbridge conveyancing solicitor but Platform Home Loans Ltd says her practice is not on their "panel". It seems we are left with little choice but to instruct a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel firm or keep our high street solicitor and pay for a Platform Home Loans Ltd panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that Platform Home Loans Ltd use our lawyer?
No, not really. The home loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Platform Home Loans Ltd solicitor panel. in the past, most banks had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Platform Home Loans Ltd
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Uxbridge. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Uxbridge
-
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. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Please supply a car parking plan. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.
Taking into account that I am about to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a garden flat in Uxbridge I wish to talk to a conveyancer regarding thetransaction ahead of instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?
Absolutely - we would be delighted to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the lawyer who will be conducting your conveyancing in Uxbridge.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a file number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Uxbridge should be the figure that you are charged.
My husband and I have an offer in principle from Alliance & Leicester who have advised we could borrow up to £218k. When do we need to appoint a lawyer for conveyancing? Uxbridge is where we are buying.
It would be wise to appoint a lawyer now so that the solicitor can open the file so they can conduct their AML checks etc. As and when you wish them to start work they will seek a deposit normally about £200. That should generally be after you have the mortgage offer and valuation results, but if you wish to speed matters you can start quicker even though you may be risking some money.
