I was notified yesterday by my financial adviser that my West Wickham the law firm I have appointed is not on the bank Solicitor panel. What can I do to be certain whether this is indeed the case?
The best course of action for you to take is to contact your West Wickham lawyer directly. You lawyer should notify you what has happened. If they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a West Wickham conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
In the event thatI were to acquire a straightforward homein West Wickham mortgage fee and dispense with a survey and no conveyancing searches how much could I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in West Wickham?
The sole saving you would make on is the West Wickham conveyancing searches. A conveyancer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with the vendors lawyer, SDLT return, register the property etc. A slight saving might be made by not needing to register a mortgage however it won't be significant.
We are purchasing a house and the solicitor has raised the issue of Chancel Repair to which the property may be obligated to contribute to because it falls into the area of such a church. He has mentioned insurance. Is this really warranted for conveyancing in West Wickham

I have justdiscovered that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in West Wickham for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of West Wickham conveyancing specialists.
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in West Wickham. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have recently received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the invoice as you normally would because all rents and service invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I am the registered owner of a basement flat in West Wickham. In the absence of agreement between myself and the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum due for a lease extension?
You certainly can. We can put you in touch with a West Wickham conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a West Wickham property is 26 Manor Road in July 2010. the Tribunal decided that price to be paid for the freehold was £12,420 This case affected 2 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 76.75 and 88.83.
We are in the process of a leasehold sale of a flat in West Wickham. Conveyancing solicitors are doing their job but we are being charged an extortionate amount by the managing agents. To date we have forked out £275 for a leasehold management pack and then another £117.20 for supplemental queries supplied by the buyers lawyer.
Neither you or your lawyer will have any say over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for West Wickham leasehold premises is £380. For West Wickham conveyancing transactions it is usual for the owner to pay for these costs. The freeholder or their agents are not duty bound to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices out of proportion to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no statute that mandates set fees for administrative tasks. Neither is there any statutory time frame by which they are required to supply the information.
