I can see plenty of here concerning conveyancing in West Hill but can you isolate your top tip for selecting the right conveyancer in West Hill

It would be unwise to be seduced by the cheapest West Hill conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

My wife and I buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in West Hill. Our aim is to an extension at the rear at the house.Will legal conveyancing on the property include checks to determine if these works are permitted?

Your property lawyer should check the deeds as conveyancing in West Hill will occasionally reveal restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of works or need the permission of another owner. Many extensions need local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.

My offer was accepted on a house in West Hill on 9/1/2026, valuation was booked 4 days later, all came back fine. Conveyancer retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Santander and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Santander to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Santander conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

    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. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in West Hill I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in West Hill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I need to instruct a conveyancing lawyer in West Hill for my house move. Is it possible to check a solicitor's complaints history with the legal regulator?

One can read documented Solicitor Regulator Association (SRA) decisions arising from inquisitions started on or after 1 January 2008. Go to Check a solicitor's record.

I am short of a 10% deposit on my apartment purchase in West Hill , but I am keen exchange. What can I do?

You can accept a lesser deposit. Most property owners will accept a lower deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.

You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
