Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Newington

Are the BSA intent on creating a searchable register to to identify solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel for example in Newington?

We have not been informed any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a register.

We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Newington and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Newington lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Newington. Having lived in Newington for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

I'm buying my first flat in Newington benefiting from help to buy. The sellers would not budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my conveyancer about this deal as it would affect my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

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.

What does commercial conveyancing in Newington cover?

Newington conveyancing for business premises covers a wide array of guidance, offered by regulated solicitors, relating to business property.

Commercial conveyancing solicitors can also offer advice on the sale of business assets, commercial mortgages and the termination of leases.

Should I instruct a Newington conveyancing practitioner who is local to the property I am buying? We have a good friend who can carry out the legal formalities but her office is 200kilometers drive away.

The benefit of a high street Newington conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute documents, hand in your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local insight which is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If other friends have instructed your friend and on the whole were happy that must trump using an unknown Newington conveyancing lawyer just because they are based in the area.

I own a leasehold flat in Newington. Conveyancing and Yorkshire Building Society mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing solicitor in Newington who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?

First contact HMLR to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to instruct a Newington conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I own a ground-floor 1960’s flat in Newington. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum due for a lease extension?

in cases where there is a missing freeholder or where 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 Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to arrive at the sum to be paid.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Newington premises is 1-41 Royal Tower Lodge 40 Cartwright Street in April 2013. the tribunal adding the agreed value of capitalised ground rents and the reversion the price to be paid for the freehold was £1,187,000 This case was in relation to 41 flats.
