I was pointed in your direction by a number of property agents in Bromley to locate a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to market your site rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any referral fee for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

Last March I purchased a leasehold property in Bromley. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I am the registered owner of a second floor flat in Bromley. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the premium due for a lease extension?
Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Bromley conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Bromley residence is 26 Rhondda Grove in June 2009. The net price payable by the leaseholders as determined by the Tribunal was £3,015.13. This comprised £11,300 premium for the reversion less £8,284.87 costs as ordered by the County Court.
How does one as executor remove a deceased person's details from the title deeds for a property in Bromley?
If a Bromley property is jointly owned and one of the proprietors passes away, their name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. It is not necessary to amend the title as when it comes to a disposal you would just need to evidence as to the reason the other owner is not included in the transfer, normally this is in the form of a grant of probate.
With a view to making the sale conveyancing smoother for the sale of the property you can apply to have the deceased person erased from the title by applying to the land registry with evidence of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
