Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Blackfriars

My mortgage broker has asked me for my Blackfriars solicitor’s panel reference for the HSBC conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have called my local Blackfriars office but they don't know it.

You are best placed to get this information from your Blackfriars conveyancer . They keep a central record lender panel numbers.

I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (seven years old) in Blackfriars. 95% of the properties have already been disposed of. Do I need carry out the neighbourhood searches as part of conveyancing in Blackfriars?

Where you are obtaining a mortgage, your lender will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Blackfriars conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to change to an alternative solicitor for your conveyancing in Blackfriars.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Blackfriars. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Blackfriars

    The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Blackfriars I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Blackfriars in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for some conveyancing in Blackfriars. I happened to land on a site which appears to be the ideal offering If it is possible to get all this stuff completed via phone that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Blackfriars. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Blackfriars - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I am the registered owner of a second floor flat in Blackfriars. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the amount due for the purchase of the freehold?

Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a Blackfriars conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Blackfriars property is Flat 89 Trinity Court Grays Inn Road in February 2013. the Tribunal found that the premium to be paid by the tenant on the grant of a new lease, in accordance with section 56 and Schedule 13 to the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 should be £36,229. This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 66.8 years.
