Having been suggested to visit your site we were going to go ahead with a conveyancing solicitor in Great Missenden endorsed by you but stumbled across some other estimates on the internet appear cheaper – how come?
One can find plenty of solicitors offering what appear to be very low prices. We would encourage you to give due consideration as to how much you respect your own move to want to take 'cheap' risks concerning the quality of the conveyancing. Some hide additional charges deep into the terms of engagement. The law firms that we list for conveyancing in Great Missenden neverdo this.
I own a freehold premises in Great Missenden but still invoiced for rent, why is this and what is this?
It is rare for properties in Great Missenden and has limited impact for conveyancing in Great Missenden but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.
Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges have existed for hundreds of years, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of new rentcharges from 1977 onwards.
Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence post 2037 will be extinguished.
I am aiming to move home in March. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Great Missenden. Conveyancing firm was organised prior to coming across your page.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent but this should only be done when the previous owners lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be released. After that you should inform the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a residential property solicitor in Great Missenden or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Great Missenden.
How can we know in advance if a Great Missenden conveyancing solicitor on the Lloyds panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Great Missenden getting recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.
It is not clear whether my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Great Missenden building society branch on various occasions and was told it wasn't an issue and they would lend. My Great Missenden conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they would not lend based on their published requirements. I simply don't know who is right.
Provided that the conveyancing practitioner is on the mortgage company panel, they must comply with the CML Handbook requirements for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the lender will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the mortgage company to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
How does conveyancing in Great Missenden differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Great Missenden contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because house builders in Great Missenden usually buy the land, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Great Missenden or who has acted in the same development.

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the bank conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the mortgage company solicitor panel.
