We are acquiring our first home. Our lawyer has messagedto enquire if we wish to order extra conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's necessary for conveyancing in East Ham
The type of East Ham conveyancing searches depends entirely on the property, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your knowledge of the area and risks, your overall appetite to risk. What matters is that you adequately understand what information each search could give you. Then you can decide if you consider that you need that search. If in doubt, ask the conveyancer to offer guidance.
My home in East Ham is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will the property lawyer have to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?
Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Skipton conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their panel criteria fairly frequently currently.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in East Ham. Conveyancing and Bank of Ireland mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in East Ham who previously acted has long since retired. Do I pay?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to incur the fees of a East Ham conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I have had difficulty in seeking a lease extension in East Ham. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
if there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the LVT to make a decision on the amount due.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a East Ham flat is 46 Credon Road in January 2014. On 11 September 2013 Deputy District Judge Price sitting at the Bow County Court made a vesting order that the freeholder surrender his lease and be granted a new lease of the Premises on such terms as may be determined by the First Tier Tribunal (Property Chamber).The appropriate sum as concluded by the Tribunal was £7225 This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired term was 69.77 years.
I'm purchasing a property in East Ham. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't find my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?
Not every individual in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
