My family lawyer has quoted £1700 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Colnbrook. I am looking to sell a purpose built property for £175,000. Is this too much? Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Colnbrook?

The quote is fractionally on the high side. If you shop around you might get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by say a hundred pounds. On the other hand, you maylive to regret choosing an a cheaper lawyer. Remember to ensure the firm can represent your bank.

I have an AIP. The bank mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to appoint a Colnbrook based conveyancing firm?

You should check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel solicitors where you want the "fee-free" incentive. Speak to the lender and explore if they allow a monetary alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor in Colnbrook.

How does conveyancing in Colnbrook differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Colnbrook contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Colnbrook usually 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 property lawyers 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 Colnbrook or who has acted in the same development.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Colnbrook is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?

Flying freeholds in Colnbrook are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Colnbrook you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Colnbrook 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.

Being a tenant I am liable for a service charge for my flat in Colnbrook. Due to redundancy and other issues I slipped behind with remittance. I negotiated a settlement schedule but there is still about £1750 remaining to be paid.

I want to sell and I am panicking this may hold me back if I have to settle the arrears now. I'd like to sell up and then discharge the arrears from the completion monies - is this viable?

Do clarify with the solicitor conducting your Colnbrook conveyancing but it might be possible to arrange for the arrears to be transferred to the purchasers. The final price they pay would be adjusted to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They would then discharge the arrears once they are the owners.
