We had appointed conveyancing lawyers with offices in Oxshott on the Kent Reliance solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further fee for the legal aspects of the Kent Reliance mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Kent Reliance?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Kent Reliance but by your Oxshott lawyer. Plenty of firms on the Kent Reliance panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

RBS will sellect a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to book a slot for the valuation to take place.

How does conveyancing in Oxshott differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Oxshott come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Oxshott tend to purchase the land, 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 property lawyers 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 Oxshott or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Oxshott is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?

Flying freeholds in Oxshott are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Oxshott you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Oxshott may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
