Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lee

I'm in the process of porting my current residential mortgage to a Buy to Let Birmingham Midshires mortgage. The bank has said that I require a conveyancer for this. I got in contact with my former Lee conveyancing practitioner who acted on my behalf when I originally bought the property. The costs estimate they've given of £470 has taken me by surprise as its a refinance than a sale or purchase.

The estimate does seem a tad steep. Where you are prepared to invest time contrasting quotes you may be able to reduce the fees slightly by as much as £100 plus VAT. That being said, if you were content with the assistance the firm offered you mightcome to rue choosing an a cheaper solicitor. Don't forget to ensure the conveyancer can act for Birmingham Midshires. Do employ our search tool to locate a Lee conveyancing firm on the Birmingham Midshires member panel, which can often include conveyancing solicitors in Lee.

We wanted to use a conveyancing solicitor in Lee for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our bank Britannia won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?

A lender can direct that an approved conveyancer act for it. You would be liable to bear the cost of this. Do use our search facility to get a quote from a solicitor to carry conveyancing in Lee on the Britannia conveyancing panel.

My husband and I have organised a further advance on our home loan from Coventry BS as we wish to conduct a loft conversion to our home in Lee. Do we need to appoint a local Lee solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?

Coventry BS do not ordinarily require a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel.

I currently have a mortgage with Aldermore for my property in Lee. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Aldermore?

You must advise Aldermore prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Aldermore’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will permit you to let out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Aldermore directly. You need not do this via a Aldermore conveyancing panel firm.

Planning on purchasing a flat in Lee. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Lee conveyancing practitioner is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

Do commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that could impact a commercial premises in Lee?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Lee will execute a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers expend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Lee. The search result provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Lee.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Lee it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately could result in delays to Lee commercial conveyancing transactions as well as present a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not carried out for residential conveyancing in Lee.

I'm buying a new build house in Lee with a mortgage from Barnsley Building Society. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not to tell my solicitor about the side-deal as it may adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

Back In 2007, I bought a leasehold house in Lee. Conveyancing and Barnsley Building Society mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing practitioner in Lee who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?

First contact HMLR to be sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Lee conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I am the leaseholder of a ground flat in Lee. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the amount payable for the purchase of the freehold?

You certainly can. We are happy to put you in touch with a Lee conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Lee residence is 18 Handen Road in April 2013. On 26 October 2012 District Judge Zimmels sitting at the Lambeth County Court made a Vesting Order that the Applicants be granted the right to acquire the freehold upon such terms and at such price determined by the LVT. The Tribunal arrived a figure of £39,535 as a valuation for the enfranchisement. This case related to 3 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 69.05 years.
