Main reasons to let us help you find a local conveyancing solicitor in Chigwell

  • 1 Our site is the first site that enables you the ability to ensure that your conveyancing in Chigwell will be conducted by a law firm on your mortgage lender’s conveyancing panel.
  • 2 Excellent communication together with a wealth of local knowledge are key benefits that you should seek when selecting conveyancing solicitors. Chigwell home moves can become a lot more complicated because of lack of transparency between all the parties. The lawyers we work with ensure that the lines of communication are open and act on arising issues and developments expeditiously.
  • 3 The hallmark of our conveyancing solicitors in Chigwell is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by large estate agency chains) often falls short of the level of professionalism you would hope for.
  • 4 Notwithstanding what other lawyers say it could be important to visit your lawyer to sign legal papers. Too many 3rd parties are already involved in a homemove without needing to include Royal Mail into the pot.
  • 5 Chigwell property lawyers have a crucial advantage when it comes to Chigwell conveyancing as they have important local knowledge of local authority requirements, planning policies and other matters that can affect your sale or purchase

Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chigwell

I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and have to leave my let out apartment in Chigwell by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase is underway. How realistic is it to complete in three weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?

Generally one should not give notice for your tenancy until your lawyer suggests that you should. Assuming that you have not already done so, speak to your lawyer and request that they chase the sellers side, try to get a realistic time scale from them that everyone will work to achieve

I moved into my apartment on 11 November and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Chigwell said it will be recorded in less than a month. Are properties in Chigwell particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Chigwell is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not always top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Chigwell

    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.

We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the property agent advised that the owners will only move forward if we appoint the agent's preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Chigwell

It is improbable the sellers are behind this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Chigwell conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.

What are your top tips when it comes to finding a Chigwell conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?

When appointing a solicitor for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Chigwell conveyancing practice) it is essential that he or she should be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We suggest that you make enquires with two or three firms including non Chigwell conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be helpful:

    How familiar is the firm with lease extension legislation? What volume of lease extensions has the firm carried out in Chigwell in the last 12 months?

I own a basement flat in Chigwell. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the premium due for a lease extension?

Where there is a missing landlord or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to judgment on the premium.
