As I am unsure how the conveyancing process works what is the most important piece of guidance you can impart regarding purchase conveyancing in Chislehurst?
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Chislehurst and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of room for friction between you and other parties involved in the transaction. For instance, the seller, estate agent and on occasion your lender. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Chislehurst is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may attempt to convince you that you should follow their advice. As an example, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your conveyancer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is against your lawyers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.
Do I need to have a meeting at the offices of the solicitor to execute the legal charge? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Chislehurst so that I can attend their offices when needed.
As opposed to twenty years ago, most banks no longer oblige their conveyancing panel solicitor to witness the borrowers signature. You will still be obliged to supply identification documents and there are still manifest advantages to instructing a local solicitor, in your case a conveyancing solicitor in Chislehurst.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Chislehurst and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to affords security of tenure to business lessees, giving them the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing solicitors who use the act for protection and assist with commercial conveyancing in Chislehurst
We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in Chislehurst
It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is going to damage their objectives. Try to communicate with the sellers directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Chislehurst conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their estate agent a commission or achieve conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.
I have been advised by various family members that it can take 6-8 weeks for Chislehurst conveyancing to complete.This was four weeks ago. The draft contract was only received from the vendors conveyancer yesterday so now does it countdown?
Do not rely on moving on a certain date until contracts are exchanged. Regardless of the promises the people you are acquiring from or selling to make, or your mortgage broker gives don't bank on them. More stress is caused to home movers by unfulfilled promises than anything else.
