Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Avery Hill

We were just about to exchange contracts for a leasehold flat in Avery Hill. We encountered a snag. The loan offer with Bank of Ireland runs out on 9/11/2026 but the sellers are suggesting a completion date of 11/11/2026. Can one prolong the loan expiry date?

The best person to address this question is your lawyer who will assess whether he or she is better off negotiating with the lender, seller’s solicitors, selling agents or indeed all parties taking into account what has gone on in your house move to date.

Why do I have to pay up front when it comes to conveyancing in Avery Hill?

If you are buying a property in Avery Hill your lawyer will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the the cost of the conveyancing searches. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. If any down payment is payable against the total price then this should be required shortly ahead of exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is needed should be transferred shortly before completion.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my house are lost. The conveyancers who did the conveyancing in Avery Hill 5 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?

Assuming you have a registered title the details of your proprietorship will be evidenced by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to execute a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and order current copies of the property title for a small fee. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally retain a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Avery Hill benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my conveyancer about this deal as it would impact my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am buying a ground floor maisonette in Avery Hill. Conveyancing solicitor has been awaiting, from the owner, building insurance paperwork. This afternoon I was advised that the seller needs to send the insurance paperwork for the flat above as well. Why would my conveyancer need to review the insurance for the other flat? Is it strictly necessary? We have been waiting for the previous 2 weeks…

It is not impossible in leasehold conveyancing in Avery Hill to discover Conveyancing in Avery Hill in a minority of cases reveals that the lease requires the leasehold owners to insure their individual flats as opposed to the freeholder insuring the entire block - which is definitely preferable. Do clarify with your conveyancing practitioner but it would seem that your conveyancing practitioner is seeking to establish that the complete building is insured. Insuring your residence is no help when it comes to rebuilding after a fire if the other flat cannot be reinstated due to lack of insurance.
