I can see plenty of here about conveyancing in Hilsea but can you isolate your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Hilsea
It would be unwise to be seduced by the lowest Hilsea conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
We expect to receive a OIP from Nationwide this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nationwide recommend any Hilsea solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Hilsea solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nationwide through the process.
RBS have agreed my mortgage in principle, my bid on a apartment in Hilsea has been accepted, what happens next?
The property agent will wish to know who your solicitors are (be sure the solicitors are on the bank’s panel). Call up RBS or your financial adviser and complete any appropriate documentation. RBS will sellect a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or owners to book an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average a week to receive the mortgage offer. RBS will send the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Hilsea.

It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Hilsea completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business property in Hilsea and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to affords security of tenure to commercial lessees, granting the right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Hilsea. Conveyancing and Leeds Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Hilsea who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?
First contact the Land Registry to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Hilsea conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I bought a property in Hilsea last 16/5/2023 and to date it is still not registered with HM Land Registry. It was part of a new estate and my conveyancing practitioner told me that it can take twelve months to complete the registration formalities. I have called HM Land Registry directly and they have informed me the original application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. Should I be concerned?
