My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in King's Cross. I I am struggling to find out whether they are on the Skipton Building Society conveyancing panel. Can you help?
The first thing to do is e-mail your lawyer and ask them whether they can act for the lender. Otherwise you should call Skipton Building Society who may be able to assist.
Have completed on a a semi-detached house in King's Cross , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My King's Cross conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the post completion formalities are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in King's Cross registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the buyer is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not usually top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. King's Cross is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in King's Cross 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 King's Cross you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in King's Cross may determine 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.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business property in King's Cross and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to provides security of tenure to commercial tenants, granting the dueness to make a request to court for a new tenancy and continue in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. King's Cross is one of the many areas of the UK in which the firms we work with have offices
My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in King's Cross
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to appoint your own,trusted King's Cross conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures set by HQ.
