We are intent on selling our home in Brockley and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Brockley. We have lived in Brockley for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Brockley. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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 are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Brockley
-
If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. 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. 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Brockley I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Brockley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
We're new on the property ladder - had an offer accepted, but the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Brockley
We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to instruct your own,trusted Brockley conveyancing firm - as opposed tothe ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures set by head office.
The conveyancers undertaking our conveyancing in Brockley has forwarded papers to review that reveal that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not currently recorded at HMLR?
Over ninety percent of property in Brockley is registered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Plenty of Brockley conveyancing solicitors should be able to handle this type of conveyancing but if any uncertainty reigns the conventional guidance these days seems to be for the seller to undertake the registration formalities first and thereafter sell - this will predictably cause a significant delay.
