Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Rayleigh

I went with a high street lawyer for our conveyancing in Rayleigh yesterday. Upon checking the terms of engagement it is apparent thatwe are responsible for charges even if the dealdoes not go ahead. Would I be best advised to appoint a web based conveyancing company offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Rayleigh?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to counteract the cases that fail to complete. Also remember that such offerings generally do not cover disbursements such as Rayleigh conveyancing search costs.

Having sold my house in Rayleigh last June yet the purchaser is texting every few hours to say her solicitor needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?

If applicable, your lawyer should also send confirmation that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been repaid to the purchasers lawyers.

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Rayleigh will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Rayleigh. The search result provides definitive information 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 Rayleigh.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one close by in Rayleigh I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Rayleigh suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
