How does conveyancing in Honor Oak differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Honor Oak contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because developers in Honor Oak usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Honor Oak or who has acted in the same development.
I opted to have a survey completed on a property in Honor Oak before instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks tend not give a loan on such a home.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions from Nationwide. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Honor Oak. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Honor Oak to see if the conveyancing will be more expensive.

I have just started marketing my garden apartment in Honor Oak. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as you normally would given that all ground rent and service payments should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can I make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Honor Oak conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
if there is a absentee landlord or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the LVT to judgment on the amount due.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Honor Oak property is Flat 1 40-42 Ewelme Road in August 2012. the Tribunal assessed the premium for the lease extension in the sum of £11,800 This case was in relation to 1 flat. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 61.81 years.
I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the lender conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the mortgage company conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the mortgage company solicitor panel.
