We are soon to exchange buying a property in West Thurrock but as a result of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate compensation from the owner in the sum of three thousand pounds in the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of a side agreement yet Nottingham will not permit this. Should they have been informed?
Any lawyer being on the Nottingham approved list is duty bound to disclose to Nottingham of any amendments to the sale price. If you were to refuse your conveyancing practitioner to notify the price change to Nottingham then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Nottingham and you would have to appoint a new solicitor for your conveyancing in West Thurrock.
Completed the sale of my flat in West Thurrock last May but our buyer keeps texting me to say their conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
Following your sale your lawyer should forward the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. If applicable, your solicitor should also send confirmation that the home loan has been redeemed to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion steps just for conveyancing in West Thurrock.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in West Thurrock I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in West Thurrock for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

I have recently realised that I have Seventy years left on my lease in West Thurrock. I am keen to get lease extension but my freeholder is missing. What options are available to me?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to locate the freeholder. In some cases a specialist should be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering West Thurrock.
