Recently asked questions about conveyancing in West Dulwich

Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in West Dulwich costs more?

The conveyancing costs for a leasehold premises in West Dulwich is inevitably more expensive as compared to a freehold residence. This is due to the additional investigations necessary in dealing with the landlord and managing agents to collate the evidence concerning whether the rent and service fee have been cleared and whether there are any significant expenditure in the foreseeable future on repairs or maintenance of the building.

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the Nottingham Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in West Dulwich?

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 at a cost.

We do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you find a residential property solicitor in West Dulwich or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in West Dulwich.
