Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stamford Bridge

We're in Stamford Bridge, First time buyers buying with a mortgage (lender is HSBC , and our lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the HSBC conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

What does a local search inform me regarding the property my wife and I purchasing in Stamford Bridge?

Stamford Bridge conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search company for example Xpress Legal The local search is essential in every Stamford Bridge conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any nasty surprises after you move into your property. The search should reveal information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications relevant to the property (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen subject sections.

I purchased my apartment on 12 February and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Stamford Bridge advises it should be formalised inside ten days. Are titles in Stamford Bridge uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Stamford Bridge registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected once the buyer is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Taking into account that I will soon part with over three hundred thousand on a property in Stamford Bridge I would like to have a conversation with the solicitor about mytransaction before giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the conveyancer who will be doing your conveyancing in Stamford Bridge.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is an important person, not a file reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Stamford Bridge should be the figure that you end up paying.

I have just started marketing my garden apartment in Stamford Bridge. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently received a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?

It best that you discharge the service charge as you normally would given that all ground rent and maintenance charges should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

    Its a good idea to find out as much as you can regarding the company managing the block as they can either make your life much easier or problematic. Being a leasehold owner you will be in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to daily issues such as the tidiness of the communal areas. Enquire of prospective neighbours what they think of their service. Finally, find out the dates that you are obliged pay the maintenance charge to the managing agents and specifically what you get for your money. How much is the service charge and ground rent on the flat? Is anyone aware of any major works on the horizon that could increase the service charges?
