Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Sutton

I am in the market for a low cost property lawyer. Should I go for for a national conveyancer or a family Sutton conveyancing solicitor?

On the whole conveyancing lawyers in your area will have strong connections with your local authority, which can assist with your Sutton conveyancing searches that your solicitor will need to carry out. It also helps if they have strong connections with the Land Registry in your area Sutton, other lawyers in the area and Sutton Estate Agents.

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is removed from the TSB Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Sutton?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.

My wife and I have a semi-detached Georgian house in Sutton. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Barclays Direct. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Sutton and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the work.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Sutton I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Sutton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

Taking into account that I am about to spend 450k on a terraced house in Sutton I wish to talk to a lawyer concerning theconveyancing in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

This is something that we recommend - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you first talking to the solicitor who will be conducting your conveyancing in Sutton.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a file reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are provided with for residential conveyancing in Sutton should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.

In surfing the world wide web for the phrase conveyancing in Sutton it shows results of many property lawyersin the area. How do I determine which is the right conveyancing solicitor for purchase transaction?

The best method of seeking the right conveyancer is via personal recommendation, so enquire of colleagues and family who have bought a property in Sutton or the reputable estate agent or mortgage broker. Charges for conveyancing in Sutton differ, so it's sensible to obtain at least three fee calculations from different solicitors. Make sure that you know that the charges are assured not to increase.
