I have justbecome aware that Action Conveyancing have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Barnet for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest method to see if the property 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 Barnet conveyancing specialists.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Barnet before instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies will not give a mortgage on this type of home.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. If you e-mail us we can look into this further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Barnet. Conveyancing may be slightly more expensive based on your lender's requirements.
I have been recommended by a number of estate agents in Barnet to choose a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your site over and above another?
We don’t give any commission for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
As co-executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a residence in Neath but I am based in Barnet. My solicitor (who is 300 miles awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec prior to completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Barnet to attest and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are Barnet based
