After what seems like an age a mortgage agreement from Nationwide for the remortgage of my single bedroom garden flat is due within the next few days. Can you put forward a low cost conveyancing lawyer in Cobham?
You are on the wrong site if you are in need of a cheap conveyancing in Cobham. We can offer you affordable conveyancing but we do not aim to advertise as being the cheapest. Resist the temptation to appoint companies seducing you with low cost conveyancing in Cobham. In your best case scenario, in choosing a lawyer for cheap conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst it will result in you paying a lot in extras and still not end up with the service you were looking for.
In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Cobham? Why is this being asked of me?
Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the ID of the person or body they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing business. The Terms and Conditions that you need to sign should reaffirm this. Your lawyer also has obligations to obtain certain documents in accordance with the CML Lenders Handbook requirements last updated on 1st December 2014. Where you are unwilling to hand over ID verification documents, your conveyancer would not be able to accept instructions from you.
The Cobham conveyancing solicitors that I recently instructed on my house acquisition in Cobham have suddenly shut down. I only went with them because I needed a firm on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and my family Cobham lawyer was not. I paid them money on account. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately so that they can let the sellers know that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You should appoint new lawyers that are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new lawyers should be in a position to help.

We expect to complete our sale of a £275,000 apartment in Cobham next week. The management company has quoted £408 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and previous years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Cobham?
Cobham conveyancing on leasehold flats normally involves the buyer’s conveyancer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address such questions the majority will be content to do so. They are entitled to charge a reasonable administration fee for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some cases it is in excess of £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, otherwise the charge is not strictly payable. In reality one has no option but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to sell the property.

My brother is purchasing a ground floor flat in Cobham. He was given a quote by the conveyancer connected to the selling agents totaling £1300 . It was ten years ago I sold and purchased a property and the bill was £just under five hundred pounds. Have costs really escalated to that extent?
What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for example Cobham searches, land registry fees, etc)
