We were just about to sign contracts for a freehold house in Alexandra Park. We encountered a stumbling block. The loan offer with Norwich and Peterborough Building Society expires on 22/4/2025 but the vendors are insisting on a completion date of 24/4/2025. Is it possible to extend the loan expiry date?
The best person to deal with your question is your lawyer who will hopefully calculate whether he or she is corresponding with the lender, vendor’s lawyers, selling agents or possibly all three based on the circumstances your conveyancing as of today.
The Alexandra Park conveyancing lawyers that I appointed last week on my house acquisition in Alexandra Park have suddenly closed. They were on acting for me because I needed a lawyer on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and my previous Alexandra Park lawyer was not. I paid them £170 in advance. What are my options?
Assuming that you have an Estate Agent in the equation then let them know immediately so that they advise the vendors that there may be a slight delay due to the problems encountered. Most sellers would be sympathetic and urge their lawyer to send a new set of papers to your new solicitors. You will need to appoint new lawyers that are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel and notify the lender. If you have paid over any money, it will hopefully be held by the SRA as money in an intervened firm's bank accounts is transferred to the SRA. Then, the SRA or the intervention agent looks at the intervened firm's accounts to work out who the money belongs to. To claim your money you will need to contact the SRA. If the SRA cannot return money you are owed from the firm's bank accounts, or if they can only return part of the money, you can apply to the Compensation Fund for a grant. Your new solicitors may be able to help.
I am aiming to move home in April. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the day of completion. On a separate note, can you recommend a removal company in Alexandra Park. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from the property agent but this can only be done after the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you can inform the removal company that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a conveyancing in Alexandra Park or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Alexandra Park.
When it comes to lenders such as Coventry BS, do Alexandra Park conveyancers have to pay a fee to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to be on their panel, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Kent Reliance are being problematic. The Alexandra Park solicitor who is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Kent Reliance are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Kent Reliance have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Kent Reliance have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Kent Reliance may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Alexandra Park?
Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Alexandra Park. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
