We expect to receive a AIP from Aldermore this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Aldermore recommend any Worcester Park solicitors on the Aldermore conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Worcester Park solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Aldermore through the process.
How does conveyancing in Worcester Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Worcester Park approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Worcester Park typically acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Worcester Park or who has acted in the same development.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed apartment in Worcester Park. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just received a half-yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is clear the maintenance contribution as normal because all rents and service payments should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such issues? Can you recommend a Worcester Park conveyancing firm to assist?

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Worcester Park flat is 33 The Maisonettes Alberta Avenue in June 2014. the Tribunal decided that the premium payable for the grant of a new lease be the sum of £20,680 (Twenty Thousand six hundred and eighty pounds).
