Having been referred to your web site we were going to appoint conveyancing solicitor in Fulham recommended using your search tool but stumbled across some other costs illustrations via the web look less expensive – how come?
You can find plenty of solicitors promoting supposedly £99 conveyancing, unfortunately it’s common in such cases for extracharges end up with the closing invoice markedly uplifted. According to the Legal Ombudsman costs outlined in terms and conditions should be equitable and be applied The solicitors that we put forward for conveyancing in Fulham specify all costs for the property you plan tobuy.
The owners have very assertive sellers who has suggested a exclusivity contract with a deposit 6,000. Are such agreements sensible?
There are a couple of primary drawbacks with entering into any lock out contract (also termed a shut-out contract) is that it diverts attention away from moving forward with the conveyancing process, so unless it requires minimal or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted by Fulham conveyancing practitioners as a result. The other main issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is very unlikely to secure injunctive relief to prohibit the vendor disposing of the property to another buyer, so the only remedy open via the agreement will be the reimbursement of wasted costs and, in rare circumstances, the extra payment of damages.
I am assisting my aunt sell her house in Fulham. Will the conveyancer order an energy assessment or it is for the seller to see to?
Following the demise of Home Information Packs, energy assessments was retained a required part of selling a property. An EPC must be commissioned in advance of the property being put on the market. It is not as aspect of the sale process that solicitors ordinarily organise. Where you are using a Fulham conveyancing practitioner they may help arrange EPC’s due to their contacts with reputable local assessors

Our sealed bid on a property in Fulham has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have put an offer on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other flats booked. I have instructed a local conveyancing solicitor in Fulham. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Santander?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then valuation, Fulham conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Santander approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market some home buyers will apply for a home loan with Santander and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their solicitor to press on with searches.
I have justbeen informed that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Fulham for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to see if the premises is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Fulham conveyancing specialists.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Fulham prior to appointing lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor advised that some lenders tend not grant a mortgage on a flying freehold home.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Fulham. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent advised that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's recommended conveyancers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Fulham
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your own,trusted Fulham conveyancing firm - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing figures set by HQ.
