I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to have this when buying a property in Bexley? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that could mean that house owners living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to contribute towards maintenance to the chancel within the church.

Unless a prior purchase of the house completed post 12 October 2013 you may expect solicitors delivering conveyancing in Bexley to continue to propose a a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Bexley concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Given that I am about to spend over three hundred thousand on a terraced house in Bexley I would like to talk to a solicitor about myhouse move ahead of appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

I am a negotiator for a long established estate agency in Bexley where we see a few flat sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Bexley conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.

Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

I own a a ground floor purpose built flat in Bexley. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the amount due for the purchase of the freehold?

Absolutely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Bexley conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Bexley flat is 103a Footscray Road in January 2014. The tribunal determines that the premium payable for the extended lease should be £34,500 according to the expert witness valuation calculation This case affected 1 flat.

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in Bexley?

Conveyancing - in Bexley or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are intending to buy and will help you find out about the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to fix the defects prior to you complete your move.
