Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Egham

My fiance and I are looking to purchase a home in Egham and have instructed a Egham conveyancing firm. Within the last couple of days our property lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through with a view to exchanging next week. Barclays have this morning contacted us to inform me that they have now hit a problem as our Egham solicitor is not on their conveyancing panel. Please explain?

When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is standard for the purchasers' solicitors to also act for the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Quality Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your mortgage company and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own lawyers to represent them. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel and you may continue to use your own Egham solicitors, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it will likely delay the transaction as you have another set of people involved.

We are soon to complete on the purchase of a property in Egham but as a result of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate compensation from the current proprietors of three thousand pounds in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet Principality are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?

The conveyancer that is on the Principality approved list is duty bound to inform Principality of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer to notify the reduction to Principality then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Principality and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Egham.

My apartment in Egham is up for sale and I have a buyer. Does my property lawyer have to be required to be on the UBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with repayment of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the UBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently in recent years.

It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Egham Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data concerning Egham.

Completion is due on the disposal of our £375,000 flat in Egham next Tuesday. The managing agents has quoted £324 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Egham?

Egham conveyancing on leasehold flats usually necessitates administration charges levied by landlords agents :

    Addressing conveyancing due diligence enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Egham Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your solicitor will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Egham leasehold property is £350. For Egham conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to provide answers.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Egham conveyancing firm to assist?

Most certainly. We can put you in touch with a Egham conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Egham residence is 147 Redford Close in June 2012. The Tribunal determined the lease extension premium to be at £4,200 This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 82.93 years.
