My previous solicitor has sent a quote for £1700 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Worcester Park. I’m looking to sell a purpose built property for £275,000. Is this over the top? Is it in excess of the average fee for conveyancing in Worcester Park?
The charges are a little high. Where you are prepared to invest time comparing quotes you may be able to decrease the fees marginally by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, you maycome to rue choosing an a cheaper conveyancer. Don't forget to enquire the solicitor can act for your mortgage company.

I am selling our house in Worcester Park and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers used a web based conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Worcester Park. We have lived in Worcester Park for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have todaybeen informed that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Worcester Park for a purchase of a leasehold flat 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

How does conveyancing in Worcester Park differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Worcester Park approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because new home sellers in Worcester Park usually buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Worcester Park or who has acted in the same development.
I am attracted to a couple of maisonettes in Worcester Park both have in the region of forty five years left on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease shortens the marketability of the lease decreases and it becomes more expensive to extend the lease. This is why it is advisable to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
