My husband and I are first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent has warned us that the vendor will only go ahead if we use their chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Silvertown

We suspect that the seller is not behind this request. Should the seller require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Silvertown conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by HQ.

I own a leasehold flat in Silvertown. Conveyancing and HSBC Bank mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing solicitor in Silvertown who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?

The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Silvertown conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I have given up negotiating a lease extension in Silvertown. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

You certainly can. We are happy to put you in touch with a Silvertown conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Silvertown flat is 46 Credon Road in January 2014.

The unexpired residue of the current lease was 69.77 years.

My plan is to purchase a ground floor flat in Silvertown. Conveyancing lawyer has been awaiting, from the vendor, building insurance schedule. This morning I was informed that the seller must forward the insurance schedule for the flat above in addition. Why does my conveyancer want to review the insurance for the flat above? Is it really required? We have been stalled for the previous month…

It is not unheard of in leasehold conveyancing in Silvertown to find Conveyancing in Silvertown in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the tenant's to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the whole property - which is clearly preferable. Do check with your conveyancer but it would seem that your conveyancing practitioner is seeking to establish that the entire building is insured. Insuring a ground floor residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the 1st floor cannot be rebuilt for lack of insurance cover.
