I decided to go with a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Primrose Hill today. Upon checking the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatwe are responsible for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Should I ditch them and choose a web based solicitor practice who offer no completion no charge conveyancing in Primrose Hill?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to offset the cases that abort. Dont forget that such offerings generally do not cover expenditure e.g. Primrose Hill conveyancing search costs.
When will exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Primrose Hill and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Primrose Hill you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Primrose Hill)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the process as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Primrose Hill. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Primrose Hill?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the completion advance to the vendor’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I am buying a 3 bedroom semi in Primrose Hill. We would like to convert the garage to an office at the house.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to ascertain if these works are permitted?
Your conveyancer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Primrose Hill will sometimes reveal restrictions in the title documents which prohibit certain works or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Certain additions require local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Many locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
I had an offer accepted on a property in Primrose Hill on 13/11/2025, valuation was booked 2 days after, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor retained, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Nationwide and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Nationwide to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Primrose Hill is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Primrose Hill are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Primrose Hill you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Primrose Hill may ascertain 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.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Primrose Hill. Conveyancing and Barclays Direct mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing solicitor in Primrose Hill who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Primrose Hill conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
Following years of correspondence we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Primrose Hill. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the LVT to make a decision on the amount due.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Primrose Hill residence is Flat 2 27 Mackeson Road in December 2012. The Tribunal assessed the value of the lease extension premium at £35,435 and rounded the figure to £35,500 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 64.77 years.
