Finally the sale completed on my house in Aldwych last April yet the purchaser is telephoning every few hours to moan that her lawyer is waiting to hear from mine. What should have happened following completion?
Post completion of your disposal your lawyer is duty bound to forward the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's conveyancer. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer should also confirm that the mortgage has been repaid to the purchasers solicitors. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities specific conveyancing in Aldwych.
My husband and I wish to acquire a 3 bedroom apartment in Aldwych with a homeloan from Bank of Scotland.We have a Aldwych conveyancing solicitor but Bank of Scotland says her practice is not listed on their approved list of member firms. we are left little option but to use a Bank of Scotland panel firm or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Bank of Scotland panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The home loan offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Bank of Scotland approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Scotland

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Aldwych. Conveyancing and Nottingham Building Society mortgage are in place. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Aldwych who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Aldwych conveyancing solicitor 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 legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
After months of correspondence we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Aldwych. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
