When it comes to conveyancing in Fitzrovia seeking recommendations is a sensible start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor conducting your conveyancing.
About to purchase flat in Fitzrovia. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Fitzrovia conveyancing practitioner is on the Principality conveyancing panel.
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Fitzrovia , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Fitzrovia conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Fitzrovia is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. At present in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Is it best to appoint a Fitzrovia conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can carry out the legal formalities but her office is a couple of hundredkilometers away.
The benefit of a local Fitzrovia conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute documents, deliver your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Fitzrovia know how is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who instructed your friend and they were content that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Fitzrovia conveyancing solicitor just because they are Fitzrovia based.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Fitzrovia. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Fitzrovia - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
After months of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Fitzrovia. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Most definitely. We can put you in touch with a Fitzrovia conveyancing firm who can help.
