Recently asked questions about conveyancing in West Heath

Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in West Heath is more expensive?

West Heath leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving applicable notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.

Various web forums that I have frequented warn that are the main cause of hinderance in West Heath house deals. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in West Heath.

five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in West Heath took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

How does conveyancing in West Heath differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in West Heath come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in West Heath typically buy the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in West Heath or who has acted in the same development.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in West Heath

It is improbable the sellers are driving this. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your preferred West Heath conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will give the estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
