Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Mayfair

Recently been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Mayfair who conducted the legals two years ago requesting a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold property) of almost identical values with a loan from National Westminster Bank. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for a cheaper online conveyancer?

The estimate does seem a tad steep. If you you were to look around you may be able to shave off some of the cost by perhaps a hundred pounds. On the other hand, providing that you were satisfied with the conveyancing the firm provided you maycome to rue opting for an an untested solicitor. If is important to ensure the firm can also act for National Westminster Bank.

Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Mayfair is more expensive?

In short, leasehold conveyancing in Mayfair and London usually requires extra due diligence compared to freehold transactions. This includes analysing the lease terms, communicating with the landlord about the service of applicable notices, procuring current service charge and management information, obtaining the freeholder’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 owners have owned the lease since it was first granted.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property can not be found. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Mayfair 5 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?

Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Mayfair

    Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
