I am getting a offer of a home loan from Santander. I intend to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Blackheath. Does the Santander Solicitor panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Santander approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.
We note that you have a post code search directory listing solicitors on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Do companies pay you a referral fee if I retain them for our conveyancing in Blackheath?
We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Blackheath.
Do commercial conveyancing searches reveal impending roadworks that may affect a commercial property in Blackheath?
Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Blackheath will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers spend in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Blackheath. The search result sets out definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Blackheath.
For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Blackheath it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately can cause delays to Blackheath commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not conducted for residential conveyancing in Blackheath.
2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Blackheath completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Blackheath. Before I get started I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Blackheath - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
Having spent years of correspondence we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Blackheath. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Most certainly. We are happy to put you in touch with a Blackheath conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Blackheath residence is 73 Walerand Road in August 2012. the result of the findings of the Tribunal led to a premium to be paid for the extended lease in respect of Flat 73 in the sum of £10,040. The premium applicable in respect of Flat 85 was £5,710. This case was in relation to 2 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 72 years.
