When will exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Enfield Wash and do I need to attend the conveyancers branch?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Enfield Wash you are welcome to come in to sign documents. However, the law practices we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to address the formalities at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Enfield Wash)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Enfield Wash
There are two types of lawyers who can conduct conveyancing in Enfield Wash namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. The two can provide the legal services that you need to complete the disposal or purchase of property. Both are obliged to perform Enfield Wash conveyancing on similar standards and guidelines so you may be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be properly administered and that all requirements and procedures should be appropriately followed.
My solicitor has informed me that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Enfield Wash conveyancing?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between Nationwide Building Society and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.
After much negotiation I have agreed a price on an apartment in Enfield Wash. My financial adviser pressured me to appoint their conveyancing practitioner. I paid an upfront payment of £225. Soon after, the conveyancer contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Enfield Wash and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Enfield Wash conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Enfield Wash. Having lived in Enfield Wash for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You must check with 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Enfield Wash I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Enfield Wash for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

My wife and I may need to sub-let our Enfield Wash basement flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Enfield Wash conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Enfield Wash do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
My wife and I have hit a brick wall in seeking a lease extension in Enfield Wash. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?
