Top reasons to let us help you choose a high street conveyancing solicitor in Oxted

  • 1 Oxted solicitors are likely to be familiar with the local Land Registry Office, Local Authority and property agents
  • 2 No matter what any alternative on-line conveyancers may claim it could be necessary to pop into your solicitor to execute contracts. Too many 3rd parties are already engaged in a house sale without needing to include Royal Mail into the mix.
  • 3 Low cost packages from online conveyancers might seem attractive. However, these organisations are often located hundreds of miles away with little appreciation of the factors that impact property transactions in Oxted
  • 4 The hallmark of our conveyancing solicitors in Oxted is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by national chain estate agents) often falls short of the level of professionalism you would hope for.
  • 5 Retaining the services of a local Solicitor usually results in a more personal touch. When using a an online conveyancing factory, your matter is dealt with by a team of people who who progress matters by reading from their computer screens.

You have come to the wrong place to search for the cheapest conveyancing solicitors in Oxted. Our aim is to provide cost effective conveyancing but we do not aim to work with the cheapest lawyers. Avoid the trap of appointing companies teasing you with £100 conveyancing in Oxted. Optimistically, in being led by low cost conveyancing, you will earn what you pay for and at worst you will end up invoiced for extras and still not receive the service you were hoping for.

I am the registered owner of a freehold house in Oxted but still pay rent, why is this and what is this?

It is rare for properties in Oxted and has limited impact for conveyancing in Oxted but some freehold properties in England (particularly common in North West England) pay an annual sum known as a Chief Rent or a Rentcharge to a third party who has no other legal interest in the land.

Rentcharge payments are usually between £2.00 and £5.00 per year. Rentcharges date back many centuries, but the Rent Charge Act 1977 barred the generation of fresh rentcharges post 1977.

Old rentcharges can now be redeemed by making a one off payment under the Act. Any rentcharges that are still in existence in 2037 will be extinguished.

I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Oxted. My lender is Accord Mortgages

Accord Mortgages have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 1/9/2026, the requirements read as follows :

My wife and I are downsizing from our house in Oxted and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers used an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Oxted. We have lived in Oxted for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to get clarification need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer 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)

My fiance and I may need to let out our Oxted ground floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Oxted conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Even though your previous Oxted conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the premises. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must seek permission via your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. The consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
