Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Wimbledon

My Conveyancer in Wimbledon is not on the Nottingham Building Society Solicitor Panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my family solicitor even though they are not on the Nottingham Building Society panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

Your options are as follows:

  1. Carry on with your preferred Wimbledon solicitors but Nottingham Building Society will need to use a conveyancer on their panel. This will result in additional overall conveyancing fees and cause frustration.
  2. Find an alternative practitioner to act in the purchase, not forgetting to check they are Nottingham Building Society approved.
  3. Try to convince your Nottingham Building Society based solicitor to try to join the Nottingham Building Society panel

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for hinderance in Wimbledon house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to feature in any holding up conveyancing in Wimbledon.

I bought my house on 3 February and my personal details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Wimbledon advises it would be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Wimbledon particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Wimbledon registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the buyer is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not typically primary concern 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.

What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Wimbledon conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?

If you are instructing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Wimbledon conveyancing firm) it is most important that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We advise that you speak with several firms including non Wimbledon conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions could be helpful:

    What are the legal fees for lease extension conveyancing?

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Wimbledon conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?

Where there is a missing landlord or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the LVT to make a decision on the price.
