We hired a Purley based solicitor for my conveyancing in Purley today. Going through the terms of engagement it is apparent thatI am responsible for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or select a web based conveyancing brokerage promising no completion no charge conveyancing in Purley?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to offset the conveyances that abort. Please beware that such deals generally do not cover expenses such your Purley conveyancing search costs.
We are downsizing from our home in Purley and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Purley. We have lived in Purley for six years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
I have justbecome aware that Stirling Law have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Purley for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the property is registered to you, 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 Purley conveyancing specialists.
Given that I am about to spend 450k on a house in Purley I would like to talk to a conveyancer regarding thehouse move in advance of instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?
We could not agree more - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the solicitor who will be doing your property ownership legalities in Purley.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a case number. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for residential conveyancing in Purley should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.
My wife and I are selling a Purley ground floor flat we inherited ten years ago in 2012. I have over twenty years conveyancing knowledge and, now retired, see no reason not to undertake my own conveyancing. The purchaser's solicitor has informed me that their bank will not allow us to do our own conveyancing insisting the funds to be sent to a solicitor's bank account.
Lending requirements to conveyancers from all mainstream lenders state that If the seller is not legally represented the borrower's lawyers should check whether the lender needs to be notified so that a decision can be made if they are willing to move forward.
