I have todayfound out that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Catford for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest method to check if the property 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 Catford conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Catford differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Catford come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because house builders in Catford usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Catford or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Catford is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?

Flying freeholds in Catford are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Catford you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Catford may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

Hoping to buy a property located in Catford and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Catford. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Catford area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?
