There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in South West London but how do I know who's good?
We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest South West London conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.
I am aiming to move property in May. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in South West London. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can collect the keys from the estate agent but this can only be done when the vendors solicitors inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be given over. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. We are not in a position to suggest a specific removal company but can assist you in choosing a conveyancing in South West London or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in South West London.

five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in South West London completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
My wife and I may need to rent out our South West London basement flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a South West London conveyancing firm in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in South West London do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests 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.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such matters? Can you recommend a South West London conveyancing firm to assist?
in cases where there is a missing freeholder or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the LVT to determine the price.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a South West London flat is 78 & 80 Newport Road in January 2013. the Tribunal concluded that the premium to be paid by the leaseholder in respect of the freehold reversion is £23,105 This case related to 2 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 71.63 years.
Why am I unable to complete our conveyancing in South West London on Good Friday?
This is due to the fact that on completion the funds needs to pass between the banks of the purchaser and seller's property lawyer and currently this can only happen on a business day. It is not possible to complete on a weekend either.
