I am acquiring a house for cash in Brixton. I have been living for the last 15 years in Brixton. Conveyancing searches are exorbitant. As I know the road and vicinity very well should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then all but one or two of the Brixton conveyancing searches are optional. Your conveyancer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he is duty bound to take that path of encouragement . Do take into account; if you are intend to sell the house one day, it will be of relevance to your prospective purchaser what the searches reveal. On occasion houses with no practical issues can still reveal unpredicted search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Brixton should be able to give you some helpful guidance concerning this.

I am buying my first flat in Brixton with a loan from TSB. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The property agent advised me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it may affect my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Brixton conveyancing firm to assist?
in cases where there is a missing landlord or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the LVT to judgment on the price payable.

The determination of the purchase price was referred to the Tribunal who decided that the amount payable for the freehold should be£29,612.00 This case affected 3 flats.

What makes a Brixton lease unacceptable for security purposes?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Brixton. All leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain sections are not included. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the building Service charge per centages that don't add up correctly leaving a shortfall
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Accord Mortgages Ltd, Virgin Money, and Platform Home Loans Ltd all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
