Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Copse Hill

Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Copse Hill who conducted the legals 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold premises and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Barclays . I am now being quoted double. Should I look for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?

The estimate does seem a tad steep. If you shop around you may be able to get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds. That being said, providing that you were pleased with the service the firm offered you mightlive to regret choosing an an untested conveyancer. If is important to check the conveyancer can represent Barclays .

The vendors of the house we are looking to purchase have appointed a conveyancing practitioner in Copse Hill who has recommended a lock out agreement with a non-refundable deposit 10k. Are such contracts generally advanced for Copse Hill conveyancing transactions?

There are a couple of primary drawbacks with executing a lock out contract (also referred to as a shut-out contract) is that it takes away the focus from progressing with the conveyancing process, so in the absence of it needing minimal or no negotiation then it could transpire to be a cause of frustration and delay. It is not promoted amongst Copse Hill conveyancing lawyers for this reason. A further issue is the extent of the remedies available - an aggrieved buyer is extremely unlikely to secure an injunction to prevent the vendor disposing of the property to an alternative purchaser, so the only remedy available under the contract will be the recovery of abortive costs and, in limited scenarios, the additional payment of damages.

My partner and I are selling our property in Copse Hill and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed an internet conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Copse Hill. Having lived in Copse Hill for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)

Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Copse Hill ahead of retaining lawyers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor has said that some lenders may refuse to grant a loan on such a premises.

I am Googling for Copse Hill conveyancing quotes online. Can I be confident that all the Copse Hill firms that are listed on your website are on the bank conveyancing panel?

The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices listed on our site have assured us via an online form that they are on the mortgage company panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the lender panel. To date we have not been informed by either a bank or a member of the public that the data about a specific Copse Hill firm being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel is incorrect.
