Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Greenwich is more expensive?
In short, leasehold conveyancing in Greenwich and South East London usually necessitates additional hours of investigation compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes checking the lease terms, liaising with the landlord about serving required notices, securing current service charge and management information, procuring the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – no matter how many different leaseholders have owned the lease since it was first granted.
We are aiming to move home in October. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Greenwich. Conveyancing lawyer was organised before I stumbled across your page.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from the selling agent but this can only occur after the vendors lawyers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be handed over. You will need to advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. We do not recommend a specific removal company but can help you choose a conveyancing in Greenwich or a lawyer that specialises in conveyancing in Greenwich.
Are all Greenwich Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Nationwide conveyancing list of approved solicitors?
It is true that some banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their panels.
I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Greenwich property lawyer on the Aldermore panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Aldermore mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I am buying a new build flat in Greenwich. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Greenwich
-
Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on our sale of a £175,000 apartment in Greenwich on Wednesday in a week. The freeholder has quoted £384 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Greenwich?
Greenwich conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes usually necessitates the purchaser’s conveyancer submitting questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to these enquiries most will be content to do so. They are at liberty to invoice a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it exceeds £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of rights and obligations in relation to administration charges, without which the invoice is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that you have little choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.
I own a first flat in Greenwich. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the premium due for the purchase of the freehold?
Most definitely. We can put you in touch with a Greenwich conveyancing firm who can help.
