Recently asked questions about conveyancing in West Ham

I opted for a local solicitor for our conveyancing in West Ham yesterday. Looking through the Terms and Conditions it is apparent thatI am responsible for charges even if the dealdoes not happen. Should I go with them or appoint an internet firm offering no completion no charge conveyancing in West Ham?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to neutralise the cases that do not proceed. You should be mindful that such offerings rarely cover expenses e.g. West Ham conveyancing search charges.

I am purchasing a terraced house in West Ham. Can I do my own conveyancing?

Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in West Ham you will have to appoint a solicitor on your mortgage company's conveyancing panel to look after their interests. Most people therefore find it easier to let the solicitor act for them and the lender. Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender. Please feel free to use the search tool to find a lawyer on your lender panel in West Ham.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in West Ham. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in West Ham

    If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in West Ham in advance of retaining conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor advised that some lenders tend not give a loan on this type of property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can look into this further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in West Ham. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.

What does commercial conveyancing in West Ham cover?

Commercial conveyancing in West Ham incorporates a broad range of advice, given by qualified solicitors, relating to business property. For instance, this type of conveyancing can cover the sale or purchase of freehold business premises or, more usually, the transfer of existing business tenancies or the drafting of new leasing arrangements. Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial loans and the termination of leases.

Finally our conveyancing in West Ham is completing this Friday, but the person I am buying from wishes to vacate on the Saturday midday. Should I accept such a idea?

Where you need a loan then your lawyer will demand that you have vacant possession on Friday - the mortgage company will require it.
