Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wadhurst

We are planning to acquire a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Wadhurst who is on the Yorkshire BS solicitor panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a solicitor?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Yorkshire BS . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Wadhurst.

I have a decision in principle. The bank mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to appoint their panel lawyer as I would much rather use a Wadhurst based conveyancing firm?

You should check but the the likelihood is that allocate you one of their panel conveyancers if you take up the "fee-free" offer. Call the lender and see if they make available a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Wadhurst.

I require quick conveyancing in Wadhurst as I am faced with a deadline to exchange contracts inside 2 weeks. A home loan is not required. Is it possible to decline from having conveyancing searches to save money and time?

If.Given you are are a cash purchaser you are at liberty not to have searches carried out although no law firm would recommend that you don't. Drawing on our experience of conveyancing in Wadhurst the following are instances of what can show up and adversely impact the marketability of the property: Enforcement Actions, Overdue Fees, Outstanding Grants, Road Schemes,...

The deeds to my house are lost. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Wadhurst 10 years ago no longer exist. Will I be able to sell the house?

Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should know exactly where to locate all the appropriate documentation so you may purchase or dispose of your property without any difficulty. Where copies are not available, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on your premises.

My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent advised that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint their recommended solicitors as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Wadhurst

It is highly unlikely the sellers are behind this. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Wadhurst conveyancing solicitors - as opposed tothose that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by senior management.

I own a leasehold house in Wadhurst. Conveyancing and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1995. The conveyancing solicitor in Wadhurst who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?

The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Wadhurst conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I own a split level flat in Wadhurst, conveyancing was carried out August 1999. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Equivalent flats in Wadhurst with over 90 years remaining are worth £165,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease expires on 21st October 2102

You have 77 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £7,600 and £8,800 plus legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
