I have just been advised by my lender that my Purfleet lawyer is not on the bank Conveyancing panel. What can I do to be certain if this is indeed the case?
The first thing you need to do is to call your Purfleet conveyancer. You lawyer should notify you of the situation. If they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the approved list of lawyers for your mortgage company.
We just had an offer accepted to purchase with Melton Mowbray Building Society. We have called around locally yet am unable to find a Purfleet conveyancing firm on the Melton Mowbray Building Society panel. Please you assist?

About to purchase a new build flat in Purfleet. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Purfleet
-
Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. 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. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared.
I was recommended by a number of estate agents in Purfleet to choose a property lawyer using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to give any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
My brother has suggested that I instruct his lawyers for conveyancing in Purfleet. Should I use them?
No doubt the ideal way to select a conveyancing lawyer is to get recommendations from friends or relatives who have actually used the conveyancer you're considering.
Notwithstanding our best efforts, we have been unsuccessful in trying to purchase the freehold in Purfleet. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
You certainly can. We can put you in touch with a Purfleet conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Purfleet property is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case was in relation to 13 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 76 years.
What are the common defects that you come across in leases for Purfleet properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Purfleet. All leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain provisions are missing. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party.
You may encounter a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. National Westminster Bank, Bank of Scotland, and Nottingham Building Society all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the purchaser to pull out.
