There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Southall but how do I know who I should use?
Do not opt for the lowest Southall conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
We previously chose conveyancers with offices in Southall on the solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional charge for handling the mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by ?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your may charge a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by but by your Southall . Some firms on the panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Southall. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Southall is on the conveyancing panel.
I know that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to take this when buying a property in Southall? or I am told that there is an ancient law that means some homeowners living in a parish church boundary may be liable to pay for maintenance to the chancel in proximity to the church. Is this applicable for conveyancing in Southall?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Southall is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Southall are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Southall you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Southall 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 residence.

The solicitors conducting our conveyancing in Southall has sent papers to review that show the land is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not registred at HM Land Regsitry?
It is a rare occurrence indeed to find premises in Southall to be unregistered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Plenty of Southall conveyancing lawyers should be able to handle such matters but in the event that uncertainty reigns the usual advice nowadays seems to be for the seller’s conveyancer to deal with the registration formalities first and subsequently deal with the dispose of the property to the purchaser - this can though naturally cause a significant delay.
