Are local, licensed conveyancing solicitors near me more expensive?

Is the property over 5 storeys (11m)?
Many leasehold properties in Norwood Green are in large buildings which now require an EWS1 certificate to confirm if the cladding is fire safe. Thankfully 2022's leaseholder protections mean that most leaseholders are not burdened with the cost of remediation of any defective cladding, but you will need to see the seller's Deed of Certificate to prove that the lease doesn't come with a nasty (and expensive) surprise.
Be particularly wary of purchasing a share of freehold as the freeholders may become liable for the cost of remedying defective cladding. Our specialist leasehold solicitors Norwood Green are well experienced with handling all of these added complications, so you will be in safe hands with SAM. Property Challenges Solved.

Selling a property
Your expert conveyancing solicitor's role when selling a property will include:
- Draft contracts – Your conveyancing solicitor drafts the initial legal contract to be sent to the buyer's solicitor.
- Responding to enquiries – your solicitor responds to any questions the buyer's solicitor may have (this is where you'll find out if you are missing documents, which can cause delays to your sale).
- Investigating issues – your solicitor may need to complete further investigation to try and satisfy them.
- Exchange contracts – once the buyer's solicitor has satisfied their enquiries, contracts are finalised and exchanged
- On the day of completion – your solicitor receives the money for the sale, discharges the mortgage (if required), pays the estate agent, deducts their fee and then sends the net sale proceeds to you.
- Post completion – your solicitor receives the DS1 discharge documents and, when leasehold, settles your liabilities for ground rent and service charges.
Our conveyancing solicitors' cost for selling a property starts from £723 INC VAT.

Should I make a will when buying a house?
Yes, definitely. When you have moved in, you will already have part-bought a major asset (using your deposit funds) and one which you will steadily own more of as time passes, or if you're a cash buyer, you'll own your asset outright from the beginning. You should think about how you would dispose of it if you were to die.
You may, for example, have family which you will want to see looked after properly which often might mean their continuing to live in your house after your death. For this purpose, you may also want to take out life insurance (click to get a quote) so any mortgage repayments are covered.
Even if you already have a will in place, you may want to revise it after your purchase to ensure everything is still applicable. Bear in mind that having a legally sound will in place greatly aids the efficiency of the probate process.
In contrast, not having a legally valid will available on your death means your estate having to go to administration, which takes considerably longer – at a time when your dependants may sorely need funds – and may involve greater expense and even anguish as different parties can seek to be included in your disposal of assets.
We can draw up wills and mirrored wills for you – call 0207 112 5388 to enquire.
