We instructed a Woodside based lawyer for our conveyancing in Woodside today. After carefully reading the official terms of business I noteI am liable for charges even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to select a web based conveyancing brokerage promising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Woodside?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to neutralise the transactions that abort. Do bear in mind that such deals tend not to cover expenses e.g. Woodside conveyancing search costs.
Are the Woodside conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Barclays conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Barclays?
Woodside conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Barclays directly.
I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for hinderance in Woodside house deals. Is that correct?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Woodside.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Woodside completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Woodside. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Woodside
-
Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal.
Can you offer any advice when it comes to appointing a Woodside conveyancing practice to deal with our lease extension?
When appointing a solicitor for lease extension works (regardless if they are a Woodside conveyancing firm) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We suggest that you talk with several firms including non Woodside conveyancing practices before you instructing a firm. Where the conveyancing practice is ALEP accredited then so much the better. The following questions might be helpful:
-
How many lease extensions has the firm completed in Woodside in the last 12 months? If the firm is not ALEP accredited then what is the reason?
I am the proprietor of a ground floor flat in Woodside. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum payable for a lease extension?
You certainly can. We are happy to put you in touch with a Woodside conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Woodside flat is Ground Floor Flat 14 Lodge Road in October 2013. the tribunal held that the price payable for the acquisition of the extended lease of the property should be £12,590 .00 This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 69.46 years.
