What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Roehampton
There are many registered licenced Conveyancers in Roehampton and Solicitor firms in Roehampton to choose from We would stress that both are regulated professionals specialising in the legal aspects of transferring property. They may both also deal with other property legal work such as remortgage conveyancing, enfranchisement and transfer of equity conveyancing.
We are getting a further advance on our mortgage from Santander as we wish to carry out alterations to our property in Roehampton. Do we need to choose a bricks and mortar Roehampton solicitor on the Santander conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?

Your estate agent will wish to be informed of your property lawyer's details (make sure the conveyancing practitioners are on the bank’s approved list).

Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes about ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Principality will issue the offer to you and your lawyers.

I purchased a terraced Edwardian property in Roehampton. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Britannia. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Roehampton and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who carried out the work.
How does conveyancing in Roehampton differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Roehampton approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Roehampton usually acquire the site, 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 property lawyers 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 Roehampton or who has acted in the same development.
Am I better off to choose a Roehampton conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can conduct the conveyancing however they are based a couple of hundredmiles drive away.
The benefit of a local Roehampton conveyancing practice is that you can drop in to execute paperwork, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and the majority were impressed that should surpass using an unknown Roehampton conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.
I only have Fifty years unexpired on my lease in Roehampton. I now wish to get lease extension but my landlord is can not be found. What are my options?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have done all that could be expected to locate the freeholder. In some cases a specialist would be helpful to try and locate and prepare an expert document to be used as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer in relation to investigating the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Roehampton.
