Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Avery Hill

My best friend’s step-father is a property lawyer. I am hopeful that I can be offered mate’s pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of fees should I be paying for conveyancing in Avery Hill?

Having sold my house in Avery Hill last May but our buyer keeps telephoning every few hours to moan that her solicitor is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?

Following your house sale your lawyer is committed to deliver the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. If applicable, your solicitor should also evidence that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been redeemed to the buyers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion steps unique to conveyancing in Avery Hill.

I have been told that property searches are the primary cause of stalling in Avery Hill conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Avery Hill.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up during conveyancing in Avery Hill?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Avery Hill. 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…’

I opted to have a survey done on a house in Avery Hill ahead of appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to grant a mortgage on such a house.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different requirements for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can investigate further via the appropriate mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Avery Hill.

I have just started marketing my ground floor apartment in Avery Hill. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

It best that you clear the invoice as you normally would as all ground rent and maintenance charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

My wife and I have hit a brick wall in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Avery Hill. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

in cases where there is a missing landlord or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the LVT to determine the amount due.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Avery Hill premises is 103a Footscray Road in January 2014. The tribunal determines that the premium payable for the extended lease should be £34,500 according to the expert witness valuation calculation This case was in relation to 1 flat.
