We are purchasing a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Eaton Bray who is on the Kent Reliance solicitor panel. Can you recommend a local solicitor?
Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Kent Reliance . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in Eaton Bray.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Eaton Bray 5 years ago have long since closed. Will I be able to sell the house?
Assuming the title is registered the information relating to your ownership will be retained by HMLR under a Title Number. It is possible to perform a search at the Land Registry, find your property and obtain up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will usually retain a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for twenty pounds.
How does conveyancing in Eaton Bray differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Eaton Bray come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Eaton Bray typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Eaton Bray or who has acted in the same development.
I am intending to let out my leasehold flat in Eaton Bray. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Some leases for properties in Eaton Bray do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
