Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Piccadilly

I am buying property in Piccadilly. My lawyer is not listed on the bank conveyancing panel. Am I still permitted to continue with my Piccadilly conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

You will need to appoint a conveyancer to complete the formalities if you need a mortgage to purchase your home. The solicitor will carry out all the essential due diligence on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage documentation is dealt with. One could appoint a Piccadilly conveyancer of your choice. Nevertheless, if the solicitor appointed is not on the bank conveyancing panel further costs will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the bank. Bank panel applications may be submitted, so if your conveyancer has not in the past sought membership they can do so.

AssumingI was to buy a straightforward housein Piccadilly for cash and have no survey and no local authority searches how much should I expect to have to pay for conveyancing in Piccadilly?

Any savings you would gain would be limited to the Piccadilly conveyancing searches. Your property lawyer is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, communicating with your vendors property lawyer, SDLT submission, register the ownership etc. A marginal saving might be made by not needing to register a charge however it will not be meaningful.

We are aware of anumerous of properties in Piccadilly which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Piccadilly should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

Is it the case that all Piccadilly CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Lloyds conveyancing panel?

It is true that some banks and building societies now use CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however is no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to join their approved list of firms.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Piccadilly 10 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor should know precisely where to look for all the relevant paperwork so you may purchase or sell your house without any difficulty. Where copies are not available, your lawyer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities against possible claims on the property.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Piccadilly. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Piccadilly - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

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

if there is a absentee landlord or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to make a decision on the sum to be paid.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Piccadilly premises is Flat 1 3 Upper Belgrave Street in December 2010. The Tribunal determined that the price payablefor the Lease extension in respect of the subject premises was £2,202,007 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 21 years.
