5 reasons to let us help you select a local conveyancing solicitor in Campden Hill

  • 1 Notwithstanding what alternative lawyers say it just might be important to attend your conveyancer to execute legal papers. Too many 3rd parties are already with an interest in a conveyancing transaction without having to add Royal Mail into the equation.
  • 2 We are the UKs largest residential conveyancing directory service identifying bank approved law practices conducting conveyancing in Campden Hill regulated and authorised by the SRA or CLC.
  • 3 The mark of a good conveyancing solicitor in Campden Hill is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by national chain estate agents) often falls short of the level of professionalism you would hope for.
  • 4 Personal touch and a wealth of local knowledge are key benefits that you should look for when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Campden Hill home moves can become a lot more stressful as a result of lack of transparency between all the parties. The lawyers listed strive to make sure that communication channels are open and act on arising issues and developments instantly.
  • 5 There is a strong possibility the other side’s solicitors are located in Campden Hill - if so both parties are likely to be familiar

Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Campden Hill

I am not in a position to travel far from Campden Hill. Can you please explain the reason why all Campden Hill property lawyers aren't automatically on all lender panels?

Mortgage companies highlight the fact that solicitor-led fraud is thought to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The removal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the FSA in 2011. Its conclusions included recommendations for lenders to review their conveyancing panels, which kicked off a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in banks and building societies purging less reputable firms from their panel of approved conveyancing practitioners .

Our son-in-law is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Campden Hill with a mortgage from TSB. His conveyancer has advised him of a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. Who needs to receive the form?

The document is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the transaction. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the TSB conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when asked. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the TSB conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

My lender has suggested solicitors on their panel based in Campden Hill but I would rather instruct a conveyancing lawyer in Campden Hill or nearer to where I live. Are you able to help?

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Campden Hill 4 years ago are no longer around. What are my next steps?

Assuming the title is registered the details of your ownership will be held by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to carry out a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and secure current copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the title is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a certified copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for £20 inclusive of VAT.

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Campden Hill. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure 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 have given up trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Campden Hill. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

in cases where there is a absentee landlord or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the LVT to assess the price.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Campden Hill flat is 93 Oakwood Court in June 2010. the LVT determined that the premium to be paid for the new lease was £492,083, This case related to 1 flat. The remaining number of years on the lease was 37.79 years.

I have just placed an offer on an apartment in Campden Hill and the estate agent that we are using suggested his conveyancing practitioner. She quoted a thousand pounds including VAT and 3rd party costs. Does this sound reasonable?

You should not rely on one estimate. One should obtain like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Campden Hill. Then select one that you trust and crucially, is on the approved panel of the mortgage company that you have applied for a mortgage from.
