Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Beckton

It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Beckton. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I can't track down the title deeds. Will this cause complications?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a chance that the deeds will be retained by the mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Beckton relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the process as a first time buyer of a ground floor flat in Beckton. Do I collect the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Beckton?

On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Beckton. Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the vendor’s lawyers, and once they have received this, you will be called to pick up the keys from the Estate Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

My lawyer has informed me that lack of planning permission insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Beckton conveyancing?

The appropriate level of lack of planning permission indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Santander and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such policies.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Beckton. I have a mortgage offer with HSBC. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home are lost. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in Beckton 5 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?

In today’s world there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your lawyer will know exactly where to look for all the suitable paperwork so you can buy or dispose of your house without any difficulty. Where duplicates can’t be located, your lawyer can put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your property.

I am the registered owner of a a ground floor purpose built flat in Beckton. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the premium payable for a lease extension?

if there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to decide the sum to be paid.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Beckton residence is 46 Credon Road in January 2014. On 11 September 2013 Deputy District Judge Price sitting at the Bow County Court made a vesting order that the freeholder surrender his lease and be granted a new lease of the Premises on such terms as may be determined by the First Tier Tribunal (Property Chamber).The appropriate sum as concluded by the Tribunal was £7225 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 69.77 years.

What makes a Beckton lease unmortgageable?

Leasehold conveyancing in Beckton is not unique. Most leases are drafted differently and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain provisions are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    A provision to repair to or maintain parts of the premises

A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Barclays , Barnsley Building Society, and Britannia all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.
