I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Kidbrooke for our house move. Our broker has since advised us that our mortgage lenders Aldermore won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
A bank will direct that a panel solicitor act for it. Borrowers are liable to bear the charges for this. Try using our database to get a quote from a solicitor to carry conveyancing in Kidbrooke on the Aldermore approved list of solicitors.
My partner and I are selling our property in Kidbrooke and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Kidbrooke. We have lived in Kidbrooke for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
Just bought a detached house in Kidbrooke , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Kidbrooke conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the post completion formalities are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Kidbrooke registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any other parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property thus registration formalities is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Kidbrooke differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Kidbrooke come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Kidbrooke tend to acquire the real estate, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Kidbrooke or who has acted in the same development.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business premises in Kidbrooke and how can you help?
The 1954 Act provides protection to business lessees, granting the a statutory right to make a request to court for a new tenancy and remain in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
