As someone clueless as to conveyancing in Coney Hall what is the number one tip you can give me concerning the legal transfer of property in Coney Hall
Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Coney Hall and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. For example, the seller, estate agent and even potentially a mortgage company. Selecting a solicitor for your conveyancing in Coney Hall is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the process whose role it is to protect your legal interests and to protect you.
There is a distinct increase in the "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer ahead of the other parties in the conveyancing process.
We are aiming to move property in August. Does my conveyancing solicitor update the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Coney Hall. Conveyancing solicitor was found before I stumbled across this page.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the house keys from your selling agent however this should only happen when the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be handed over. You should tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Coney Hall or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Coney Hall.
We had instructed solicitors locally in Coney Hall on the Principality solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a supplemental charge for dealing with the Principality mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Principality?
As unfair as it may seem, as long as it’s in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your conveyancing practitioner may charge a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Principality but by your Coney Hall conveyancer. Plenty of firms on the Principality panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.
I have instructed a Coney Hall conveyancer having made sure that they are on the RBS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
RBS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually RBS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Coney Hall surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I am looking at a two flats in Coney Hall which have approximately 50 years remaining on the lease term. Do I need to be concerned?
There are plenty of short leases in Coney Hall. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease shortens the saleability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is often a good idea to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.
My wife and I have hit a brick wall in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Coney Hall. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
