My best friend’s dad is a conveyancer. I anticipate that I can be offered preferential rates for conveyancing, However if that does not come through, what kind of figure should I be paying for conveyancing in Oval?
It’s wise to seek multiple conveyancing quotes. Do use our search tool on this site. Whilst fees may be different but service levels do are distinct between property lawyers as is true with the vast majority of professional services.
Our solicitor has uncovered a a problem with the lease for the property we are purchasing in Oval. The other side have offered title insurance as a solution. We are happy with insurance and will cover the costs. Our conveyancing practitioner has advised that he must check that the mortgage company is willing to move forward with this solution. Who is the client here, us or the mortgage company ?
Regardless of the fact that you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will meet their specifications for the purposes of a mortgage. Your lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions. You and the lender are the client. These conveyancing instructions have to be complied with.

I'm buying a new build house in Oval benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my lawyer about this side-deal as it may jeopardize my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Am I better off to go with a Oval conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am buying? I have an old university friend who can perform the legal formalities but his firm is located 200kilometers away.
The primary upside of using a high street Oval conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute paperwork, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and on the whole were happy that should trump using an unknown Oval conveyancing solicitor just because they are round the corner.
I have just appointed agents to market my garden flat in Oval. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just received a yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is pay the invoice as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
After months of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Oval. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a Oval conveyancing firm who can help.
