Is the fact that my solicitor in Mile End is not identified on my lender's conveyancing panel that there is a problem with the quality of the firm’s conveyancing?
That would most likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. Just recently a report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should contact the Mile End conveyancing firm and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
We are aiming to move home in June. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Mile End. Conveyancing lawyer was organised prior to coming across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you can pick up the keys from your property agent however this can only take place when the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. Subsequently you will need to inform the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Mile End or a firm that specialises in conveyancing in Mile End.
My wife and I purchasing a end of terrace house in Mile End. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve checks to see if these works are allowed?
Your property lawyer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Mile End can sometimes reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain changes or require the permission of another owner. Certain additions call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
The mortgage over my property is with Virgin Money for my property in Mile End. Conveyancing was finalised some time 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 Virgin Money?
You must advise Virgin Money before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Virgin Money 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 Virgin Money directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor.
About to purchase a new build flat in Mile End. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Mile End
-
Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Please supply a car parking plan. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Mile End I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Mile End for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
There are only 62 years unexpired on my lease in Mile End. I now wish to get lease extension but my freeholder is missing. What are my options?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to find the lessor. On the whole a specialist would be helpful to try and locate and to produce a report which can be used as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor both on proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Mile End.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such matters? Can you recommend a Mile End conveyancing firm to help?
Where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the LVT to make a decision on the premium.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Mile End residence is 26 Rhondda Grove in June 2009. The net price payable by the leaseholders as determined by the Tribunal was £3,015.13. This comprised £11,300 premium for the reversion less £8,284.87 costs as ordered by the County Court.
