Would the conveyancing practitioners identified via your search tool execute auction conveyancing in Norbury?
There are a few niche practitioners we can put you in touch with those specialising in auction conveyancing. Norbury is one of hundreds of locations where our lawyers cover.
I am helping my sister sell her property in Norbury. Will the solicitor commission an EPC or should I organise this?
After the abolition of HIPs, energy performance certificates became a required component of selling a house. An energy performance certificate must be to hand prior to the property being marketed. This is not as aspect of the sale process that lawyers ordinarily arrange. Where you are instructing a Norbury conveyancing solicitor they might be able to arrange energy assessments given their contacts with reputable local energy assessors
I just acquired a house at auction in Norbury. Conveyancing is required. What are my next steps?
Given that you are now for all intents and purposes signed on the dotted line you should instruct a conveyancing solicitor as a matter of priority as you are facing a tight deadline in which to complete the transaction. All auction property will ordinarily have a corresponding legal pack. This will include evidence of title and search results. Where you are dealing with leasehold premises the conveyancing pack may include a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation relating to a leasehold property. You should hand this to the conveyancer instructed by you ASAP. Do make sure that your finances are in order to complete the transaction on the set completion date.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Norbury conveyancing practitioner on the Santander panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Am I right?
If you have finished paying off your Santander mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Santander mortgage from the register. Santander, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so
How does conveyancing in Norbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Norbury approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because builders in Norbury usually purchase the land, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Norbury or who has acted in the same development.

Is it best to instruct a Norbury conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? An old friend can execute the legal work but his firm is located 300kilometers drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Norbury conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Norbury know how is a benefit. That being said 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 happy that must trump using an unknown Norbury conveyancing solicitor just because they are local.
