My best friend’s uncle is a solicitor. I anticipate that I can be offered friends and family fee for conveyancing, but if not, what level of fees should I be paying for conveyancing in East Twickenham?
It’s wise to look for multiple conveyancing quotes. Do use our search tool on this site. The quotes seem to be different but service levels do are distinct between property lawyers as is the case with the vast majority of professional services
I have justbeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in East Twickenham for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 18 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The easiest method to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of East Twickenham conveyancing specialists.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. East Twickenham is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in East Twickenham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside East Twickenham you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in East Twickenham may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
