We instructed a local lawyer for our conveyancing in Reading yesterday. After carefully reading the fine print I notewe are liable for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Would I be best advised to use an internet conveyancing brokerage promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Reading?
Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be uplifted to cover those transactions that abort. Dont forget that these deals generally do not cover outlay for example Reading conveyancing search fees.
It is is a decade since I purchased my house in Reading. Conveyancing lawyers have now been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down my deeds. Is this a problem?
Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Reading relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that may impact a commercial site in Reading?
Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Reading will perform a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers expend in sourcing accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Reading. The report provides definitive data 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 Reading.
For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Reading it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately could result in delays to Reading commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not ordered for residential conveyancing in Reading.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Reading I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Reading suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
My husband and I are a fortnight into a residential purchase having been referred to solicitors by the estate agent to do our conveyancing in Reading. I am not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new solicitors?
A conveyancer would have to be really poor to suggest replacing them. Has the loan offer been sent? In the event that it has you need to advise them of the new lawyer and ensure the mortgage documents are re-issued. The solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid escalating charges and delays. So that should be your starting point.

Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Reading?
Reading conveyancing on leasehold apartments usually necessitates the purchaser’s lawyer sending questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to these enquiries most will be willing to assist. They are at liberty to invoice a reasonable charge for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it is in excess of £800. The administration charge levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration charges, without which the invoice is technically not due. Reality however dictates that you have little choice but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to complete the sale of your home.
