The mortgage agreement from Santander for the refinancing of my 3 room apartment is coming by the end of next week. Are you able to propose a low cost conveyancing solicitor in Copse Hill?
This site is not designed to assist those in pursuit of a cheap conveyancing in Copse Hill. We can offer you value for money conveyancing but our intention is not to advertise as being the cheapest. Avoid the trap of appointing brokers teasing you with £99 conveyancing in Copse Hill. At best, in being led by cheap conveyancing, you will end up with what you pay for and at worst it will result in you invoiced for extras and still not end up with the service expected.
At what point does exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Copse Hill and am I required to be at the conveyancers branch?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Copse Hill you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer a countrywide conveyancing service and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Copse Hill)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Copse Hill for our home move. Our broker has since notified us that our mortgage company Barclays Direct won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?
Lenders on the whole restrict either the type or the volume of conveyancing solicitors on their panel. A common example of such criteria being that a law practice must not be a sole practitioner. In addition to restricting the type of firm, a few banks have reduced the number of solicitor practices they allow to act for them. Be aware that Barclays Direct have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Barclays Direct Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there are differing opinions concerning the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Figures from the Land Registry reveal that plenty of law firms, including some in or near Copse Hill only execute a couple conveyances a year.
It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Copse Hill took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

I've recently bought a leasehold house in Copse Hill. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee 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. It is an essential part 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).
After years of dialogue we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Copse Hill. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
if there is a missing freeholder or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to assess the amount due.

The Tribunal assessed the price to be paid by the leaseholder to the freeholder for the lease extension pursuant to section 48 of the Leasehold Reform Housing & Urban Development Act 1993 should be£16,603.00 This case was in relation to 1 flat. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 69.32 years.
