Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Loxford

When will exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Loxford and do I need to be at the lawyers office?

If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Loxford you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the firms we work with offer a nationwide conveyancing service and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Loxford)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the number one reason for hinderance in Loxford conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

    Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Loxford is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Loxford are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Loxford you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Loxford may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

My partner has suggested that I use his lawyers for conveyancing in Loxford. Should I use them?

There are no two ways about it the best way to find a conveyancing lawyer is to seek feedback from friends or relatives who have actually used the firm you're considering.

I work for a long established estate agent office in Loxford where we have experienced a few leasehold sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Loxford conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.

Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

Following years of correspondence we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Loxford. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

Where there is a absentee landlord or if there is dispute 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 LVT to make a decision on the premium.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Loxford flat is 9 Granville Road in June 2014. The tribunal determines the enfranchisement price payable by the applicants for the freehold was £32,548 This case related to 5 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 73.8 years.
