I sincerely hope you can help me. My Rotherhithe lawyer is informing me me that he has toorder Rotherhithe conveyancing searches stemming from the fact thatthe firm are on the Nat Westapproved lawyer panel. Is my solicitor right?
You have limited options available to you. As you are taking a mortgage with a bank your lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your bank’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the CML Handbook specifications . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Rotherhithe conveyancing searches.
We see that you have a post code search directory identifying firms on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our conveyancing in Rotherhithe?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Aldermore conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Rotherhithe.

I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Rotherhithe off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with Yorkshire BS. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Yorkshire BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
The formalities of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Rotherhithe. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Rotherhithe I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Rotherhithe in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I own a leasehold flat in Rotherhithe. Conveyancing and Nottingham Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Rotherhithe who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make 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 Rotherhithe conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
Following years of negotiations we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Rotherhithe. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Where there is a absentee landlord or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to judgment on the price.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Rotherhithe property is 12, 14 & 16 Hull Close in May 2010. the Tribunal determined that the premium payable for the acquisition of the freehold to the subject premises was the sum of £18,300 This case was in relation to 3 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 101.61 years.
