Reasons to use our Harrold conveyancing solicitors

  • 1 The mark of a good conveyancing solicitor in Harrold is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by national chain estate agents) often falls short of the level of professionalism you would hope for.
  • 2 On the balance of probabilities the other side’s solicitors are based in Harrold - if so sets of solicitors will be familiar
  • 3 The companies listed on our directory have a mix of conveyancing solicitors, legal executives and support staff handling thousands of conveyancing matters annually.
  • 4 Retaining the services of a high street Solicitor generally results in a more personal touch. Sometimes when dealing with a large conveyancing firm, your transaction is dealt with by a team of people who check what is happening on the file by determining whether the ‘computers says no’.
  • 5 Excellent communication and a wealth of expertise are key benefits that you should look for when selecting conveyancing solicitors. Harrold conveyancing can become significantly more stressful as a result of poor communication between all the parties. The lawyers we work with ensure that communication channels are open and act on arising issues and developments instantly.

When will exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Harrold and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?

Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Harrold you are welcome to come in to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically.

A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing.

Completion is due on the sale of our £425,000 apartment in Harrold on Wednesday in a week. The managing agents has quoted £408 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Harrold?

Harrold conveyancing on leasehold flats normally necessitates administration charges invoiced by management companies :

    Addressing conveyancing due diligence enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Harrold Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Harrold leasehold property is £350. For Harrold 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 own a 2 bed flat in Harrold, conveyancing formalities finalised October 2002. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable flats in Harrold with a long lease are worth £180,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2084

With only 59 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to be between £20,900 and £24,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before getting professional advice.

I am expecting to exchange buying a property in Harrold but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have agreed recompense from the seller of five thousand pounds in the form of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process yet the lender will not permit this. Should they have been informed?

Any property lawyer listed on a lender approved list is duty bound to inform the mortgage company of any variations to the purchase figure. In the event that you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to report the reduction to your mortgage company then they would need to discontinue representing you and the bank.
