I have justfound out that Stirling Law have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Esher for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can make 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 Esher conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Esher differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Esher come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Esher tend to buy the real estate, 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 Esher or who has acted in the same development.

It is improbable the owners are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to use your own,trusted Esher conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by HQ.
