My brother and I have recently purchased a property in Tower Hill. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches.

As someone clueless as to conveyancing in Tower Hill what’s the number one tip you can give me concerning the legal transfer of property in Tower Hill

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Tower Hill or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the home moving process. E.g., the seller, selling agent and on occasion a bank. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Tower Hill an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose interest is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.

Sometimes a potential adversary may try and persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the property agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do something that is against your conveyancers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

A relative advised me that where I am buying in Tower Hill I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

A search of this type is usually included in the estimate for your Tower Hill conveyancing searches. It is a large report of more than thirty pages, listing and setting out significant information about Tower Hill around the property and the people living there. It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Tower Hill Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Tower Hill.

Have purchased a a detached house in Tower Hill , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Tower Hill conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my ownership is recorded.

As far as conveyancing in Tower Hill registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any other persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration occurs once the new owner is living at the property thus registration formalities is not typically primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Tower Hill I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Tower Hill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

Been reading online that Tower Hill solicitors are more costly than licensed conveyancers in Tower Hill to use when buying a house. So is it better if I use a conveyancer or a solicitor where I am buying for my home move in Tower Hill.

When it comes to conveyancing in Tower Hill the costs are unlikely to vary dramatically depending on whether the legal expert is a licenced conveyancer or solicitor.
