What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Frognal
There are two types of lawyers who can do conveyancing in Frognal namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. The two can provide conveyancing services that required to complete the sale or acquisition of property. They are both duty bound to execute Frognal conveyancing to the same standards and guidelines so you may be safe in the knowledge that your conveyancing will be professionally carried out and that all necessary steps should be appropriately attended to.
We are aiming to move home in August. Should my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Frognal. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from the selling agent however this can only take place once the vendors conveyancers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. You can tell the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Frognal or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Frognal.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with RBS. I assume I don't need a Frognal solicitor on the RBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your RBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the RBS mortgage from the register. RBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where RBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- RBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so
We are downsizing from our home in Frognal and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Frognal. Having lived in Frognal for six years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
How does conveyancing in Frognal differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Frognal come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Frognal usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Frognal or who has acted in the same development.
I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Frognal ahead of instructing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor advised that some lenders will refuse to give a mortgage on such a property.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Santander has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can look into this further via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Frognal. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
I want to let out my leasehold apartment in Frognal. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
A small minority of properties in Frognal do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can a leaseholder apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Frognal conveyancing firm to assist?
You certainly can. We can put you in touch with a Frognal conveyancing firm who can help.
