I am under pressure from the mortgagee in possession of a property in West Wickham to exchange within four weeks. What can I do to expedite matters?
Where the seller is applying pressure to exchange it is highly recommended that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will benefit local relationships and intelligence. It is possible that they would have transacted previoushomes in the same street. Therefore consider using a West Wickham conveyancing lawyer. In addition, ensure that the lawyer is on the lender panel. It is understood that just under twenty per cent of West Wickham conveyancing deals are held up or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the buying process being frustrated by an average of 21 days. It is claimed that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home moves annually. Almost all West Wickham conveyancing practices can not represent certain lenders so do check at the outset.

How does conveyancing in West Wickham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in West Wickham approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in West Wickham tend to buy the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 Wickham or who has acted in the same development.

Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in West Wickham?

Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to these enquiries the majority will be content to assist. They are at liberty to levy a reasonable administration fee for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it exceeds £800. The management information fee levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of rights and obligations in relation to administration charges, without which the charge is not strictly payable.
