I decided to go with a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Carshalton today. Going through the terms of engagement I seewe are on the hook for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and use a web based lawyer advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Carshalton?

It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to counteract those conveyances that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that such promotions generally do not protect you from disbursements e.g. Carshalton conveyancing search fees.

I am looking to buy a property and need a conveyancing solicitor in Carshalton who is on the HSBC Bank approved. Can you recommend a local conveyancing firm?

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 was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Carshalton is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Carshalton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Carshalton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Carshalton 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 property.

Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on the disposal of our £200,000 flat in Carshalton on Friday in a week. The managing agents has quoted £324 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Carshalton?

Carshalton conveyancing on leasehold apartments ordinarily involves administration charges levied by management companies :

Answering pre-exchange questions Where consent is required before sale in Carshalton Copies of the building insurance and schedule Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale

Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Carshalton leasehold property is £350. For Carshalton conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to provide answers.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Carshalton conveyancing firm to represent me?

Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Carshalton conveyancing firm who can help.
