What can a local search inform me about the property my wife and I buying in Tolworth?

Tolworth conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or via a personal search organisations for instance Onsearch The local search plays an important part in many a Tolworth conveyancing purchase; as long as you wish to avoid any nasty surprises after you move into your property. The search should supply information on, amongst other things, details on planning applications applicable to the premises (whether granted or refused), building control history, any enforcement action, restrictions on permitted development, nearby road schemes, contaminated land and radon gas; in all a total of thirteen topic headings.

I got the keys to my apartment on 4 June and my personal details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Tolworth advises it should be dealt with in less than a month. Are titles in Tolworth uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Tolworth registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not always an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I am purchasing my first flat in Tolworth with a loan from Bank of Scotland. The sellers would not budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The sale representative advised me not disclose to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will impact my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Tolworth with the intention of saving time on the sale process?

  • A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Tolworth can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ conveyancers.
  • If you have had conflict with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved prior to the flat being put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as over rather than unsettled. You may think that you are aware of the number of years left on your lease but you should verify this by asking your solicitors. A purchaser's lawyer will be unlikely to recommend their client to where the lease term is less than 80 years. It is therefore essential at an as soon as possible that you consider whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your premises on the market for sale. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should ensure that you hold the original share certificate. Arranging a re-issued share certificate can be a lengthy process and slows down many a Tolworth conveyancing transaction. Where a duplicate share is necessary, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this sooner rather than later. Some Tolworth leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers.

We have reached the end of our tether in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Tolworth. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

Absolutely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Tolworth conveyancing firm who can help.
