Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Avery Hill

At what point does exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Avery Hill and am I required to attend the lawyers branch?

If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Avery Hill you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we recommend supply a national conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Avery Hill)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I have just over seventy years left on my lease and need a lease extension for my apartment in Avery Hill. Conveyancing solicitors on the Accord Mortgages panel can deal with such extensions right?

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are getting a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Accord Mortgages have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 2/5/2025 the requirements read as follows :

There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Avery Hill but how do I know who I should use?

It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Avery Hill conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Avery Hill. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their property lawyer. I paid an on account payment of £225. A few days later, the conveyancing practitioner contacted me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the TSB 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 TSB 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.

I've read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Avery Hill solicitor - who is on the RBS conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. is that correct?

RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Avery Hill postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Avery Hill.

My partner and I are intent on selling our home in Avery Hill and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Avery Hill conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Avery Hill. We have lived in Avery Hill for many years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm 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 sickness)

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Avery Hill?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Avery Hill. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in Avery Hill and how can you help?

The 1954 Act affords a safeguard to commercial tenants, giving them the legal entitlement to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Avery Hill is one of our numerous locations in which our lawyers are based
