Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Blackheath

We are selling our apartment in Blackheath. Will the property lawyer need to be required to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently in recent years.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Blackheath?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Blackheath. 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…’

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Blackheath. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Blackheath

    Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. 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. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

I was recommended by a few selling agents in Blackheath to choose a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to offer your site rather than a competitor’s?

We don’t give any referral fee for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.

We are a fortnight into a residential purchase having been referred to a firm by the estate agent to do our conveyancing in Blackheath. We are not happy. Can you you assist me in finding new lawyers?

A lawyer would have to be very poor in order to consider changing them. Has the mortgage been sent? In the event that it has you must advise them of the new contact details and ensure the loan are re-issued. Your new conveyancer should be on the mortgage company panel to avoid added costs and complications. So that should be your starting point. The search tool can help you find a bank approved lawyer for your conveyancing in Blackheath

There are plenty of properties in Blackheath on private lanes. My husband and I are purchasing one such property. What would be the pros and cons of buying a residence on a private road?

Blackheath conveyancing solicitors will be familiar with conveyancing houseson private. Your solicitor should investigate title to find any rights or responsibilities. In many cases there is a residents association that proprietors make annual payments to maintain the road. If there is one, the road should be maintained and appear nicer than council maintained.
