Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Fitzrovia

Is it possible for conveyancing in Fitzrovia to be done in a month?

First, If the seller is applying time constraints for your conveyancing it is advisable to make sure that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will have local contacts and insight. It is even conceivable that they may have handled previousproperties in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Fitzrovia conveyancing firm. Second, be sure that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is said that 18% of Fitzrovia conveyancing transactions are held up or jeopardised after discovering a purchaser’s conveyancer was not on their mortgage lender’s member panel. This can often result in the home move being frustrated by as much as 21 days. It is believed that this issue impacts approximately one hundred thousand home moves every year. Almost all Fitzrovia conveyancing firms can not represent certain banks so do check at the outset.

This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a ground floor flat in Fitzrovia. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Fitzrovia?

On the day of completion you will not be required to go to the conveyancers office in Fitzrovia. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to receive the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this happens early afternoon.

Does a directory service exist listing Coventry BS panel solicitors in Fitzrovia on the Building Society Association’s Website?

Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of lenders make their panel listings available over the internet. If you are looking for a Fitzrovia conveyancing practitioner on the Coventry BS please make the most of our tool.

After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Fitzrovia. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an on account payment of £225. Not long after, the solicitor called me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Leeds Building Society panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I got the keys to my home on 1 October and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Fitzrovia said it will be dealt with in less than a month. Are titles in Fitzrovia particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Fitzrovia registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any other parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I'm buying a new build house in Fitzrovia benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my solicitor about the deal as it may affect my mortgage with The Royal Bank of Scotland. Is this normal?.

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%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am selling my property. My previous lawyers closed down. It would be helpful to have a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Fitzrovia if that affects matters.

I own a leasehold house in Fitzrovia. Conveyancing and The Royal Bank of Scotland mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing practitioner in Fitzrovia who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?

First make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Fitzrovia conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such issues? Can you recommend a Fitzrovia conveyancing firm to represent me?

in cases where there is a missing landlord or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to make a decision on the price.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Fitzrovia flat is 20 Avonwick Road in July 2013. The Tribunal was dealing with an application under Section 26 of the Leasehold Reform Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 for a determination of the freehold value of the property. It was concluded that the price to be paid was Fifteen Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy (£15,970) divided as to £8,200 for Flat 20 and £7,770 for Flat 20A This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term was 73.26 years.
