I opted for a high street firm for my conveyancing in Ravenscourt Park today. After carefully reading the small print I notewe are on the hook for fees even if the movedoes not proceed. Would I be best advised to select an internet firm offering no move no charge conveyancing in Ravenscourt Park?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to counteract the cases that fail to complete. Dont forget that such offerings generally do not cover outlay for instance Ravenscourt Park conveyancing search costs.
At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Ravenscourt Park and am I required to attend the solicitors branch?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Ravenscourt Park you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer a countrywide conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the property agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts 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 play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Ravenscourt Park)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I have recently realised that I have 68 years remaining on my lease in Ravenscourt Park. I need to extend my lease but my landlord is absent. What should I do?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to locate the freeholder. In some cases a specialist may be helpful to carry out a search and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to proving the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court overseeing Ravenscourt Park.

There are a lot of properties in Ravenscourt Park on unadopted roads. We are acquiring such a property. Are there any advantages to buying a property on a private road?
Ravenscourt Park conveyancing firms are familiar with transacting propertieson private. The lawyer should investigate Land Registry data to find any rights or responsibilities. In many cases there is a residents association that proprietors pay into to maintain the road. If one exists, the road should be maintained and appear better than council owned.
