Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Hatch End

I chose a high street solicitor for our conveyancing in Hatch End today. Upon checking the Terms I seewe are responsible for fees even if the movedoes not go ahead. Would I be best advised to select an internet firm who offer no completion no cost conveyancing in Hatch End?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be uplifted to offset those transactions that fail to complete. Dont forget that these schemes rarely cover disbursements for instance Hatch End conveyancing search expenses.

We are due to complete buying a house in Hatch End but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree reparation from the seller in the sum of £3k in the form of a adjustment in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet Kent Reliance will not permit this. Why were they notified?

Any conveyancing practitioner being on the Kent Reliance approved list is required to inform Kent Reliance of any variations to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to report the price change to Kent Reliance then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Kent Reliance and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in Hatch End.

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Hatch End will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Hatch End.

For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Hatch End it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Hatch End I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hatch End in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

Given that I am about to spend £400,000 on a two bedroom apartment in Hatch End I wish to have a conversation with the conveyancer regarding thetransaction prior to appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the solicitor due to be carrying out your property ownership legalities in Hatch End.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a file number.

I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Hatch End. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before completion of my purchase?

In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
