I decided to go with a Worthing based lawyer for my conveyancing in Worthing last week. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am liable for charges even if the movedoes not happen. Would I be best advised to instruct a web based lawyer advertising no completion no charge conveyancing in Worthing?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to cover those cases that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that such deals rarely protect you from outlay for instance Worthing conveyancing search expenses.
Do the conveyancing practitioners that are recommend execute auction conveyancing in Worthing?
There are a number of auction solicitors we can connect you with those specialising in auction conveyancing. Worthing is one of the many locations in which our lawyers are based.
I am planning on selling our home in Worthing and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using an internet conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Worthing. Having lived in Worthing for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
I have recentlybeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Worthing for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out 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 Worthing conveyancing specialists.
How straightforward is it to use your search app to find a conveyancing solicitor in Worthing on the panel for my lender?
First choose a bank such as Lloyds TSB Bank, Bank of Scotland or Alliance & Leicester then type in your preferred area e.g. Worthing. Conveyancing practices in Worthing and nationally should be shown.
Last March I purchased a leasehold house in Worthing. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I inherited a leasehold flat in Worthing, conveyancing having been completed October 1999. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent flats in Worthing with a long lease are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 invoiced annually. The lease terminates on 21st October 2101
With only 76 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
