Will our lawyer be raising questions regarding flooding during the conveyancing in Purfleet.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for solicitors carrying out conveyancing in Purfleet. Plenty of people will purchase a property in Purfleet, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate building insurance, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not best placed to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a number of checks that may be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Purfleet. The conventional set of property information forms given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) contains a usual question of the seller to find out if the premises has ever been flooded. In the event that flooding has previously occurred and is not notified by the owner, then a purchaser may bring a compensation claim as a result of such an misleading answer. The purchaser’s lawyers may also conduct an environmental report. This will disclose whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries will need to be carried out.
Just acquired a detached house in Purfleet , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Purfleet conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the registration is dealt with.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Purfleet registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Purfleet is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Purfleet are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Purfleet you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Purfleet may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

My step-father has encouraged me to use his lawyers for conveyancing in Purfleet. Should I use them?

Frank (my husband) and I may need to sub-let our Purfleet 1st floor flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Purfleet conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Purfleet do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can a leaseholder make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Purfleet conveyancing firm to help?
if there is a missing freeholder or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to determine the premium.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Purfleet residence 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.
