I decided to go with a Hove based firm for my conveyancing in Hove recently. Going through the terms of engagement it is apparent thatwe are liable for costs even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I go with them or appoint an internet conveyancing brokerage promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Hove?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will generally be uplifted to counteract those cases that fail to complete. Dont forget that such schemes generally do not protect you from disbursements for example Hove conveyancing search charges.
My husband and I are purchasing a brand new flat in Hove and my lawyer is advising me that she is duty bound to the bank to disclose incentives from the seller. I am on a tight deadline to exchange contracts and I don't want to prolong deal. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
We're in Hove, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is Principality , and our solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal proposed roadworks that could impact a commercial premises in Hove?
Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Hove will conduct a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Hove. The search result provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Hove.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Hove it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately can result in delays to Hove commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not ordered for domestic conveyancing in Hove.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Hove. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Hove - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I invested in buying a split level flat in Hove, conveyancing formalities finalised February 2004. Can you shed any light on how much the price could be for a 90 year extension to my lease? Comparable flats in Hove with over 90 years remaining are worth £171,000. The ground rent is £50 charged once a year. The lease terminates on 21st October 2100
With just 79 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as legals.
