What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Charing Cross

There are two types of lawyers who can carry out conveyancing in Charing Cross namely licenced conveyancers or solicitors. Both professionals provide conveyancing services that you need to complete the sale or purchase of property. They are both required to execute Charing Cross conveyancing on similar standards and guidelines so you can be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be professionally carried out and that the requisite procedures will be accurately adhered to.

We had instructed conveyancers with offices in Charing Cross on the TSB solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further sum for dealing with the TSB mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by TSB?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by TSB but by your Charing Cross property lawyer. Numerous firms on the TSB panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Charing Cross off the council. I have a mortgage offer with RBS. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with RBS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel.

I have been told that property searches are the main reason for obstruction in Charing Cross house deals. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Charing Cross.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Charing Cross. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

    Please supply a car parking plan. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

We are in the process of selling our flat in Charing Cross. Conveyancing is fine but we are being charged a fortune from the managing agents. To date we have issued a cheque for £268 for a leasehold management pack and then a further £117.20 for additional queries supplied by the purchaser's solicitor.

You will not have any say over the extent of the bill for this information however the average costs for the information for Charing Cross leasehold premises is £360. When it comes to Charing Cross conveyancing sales it is conventional for the owner to cover the costs. The freeholder or their agents are under no statutory obligation to address such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at high prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed fees for administrative tasks. There is no legal time frame by which they are required to issue answers.
