Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose planned roadworks that could affect a commercial property in Bromley?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Bromley will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Bromley. The search result provides 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 Bromley.
For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Bromley it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site.

These searches are not ordered for residential conveyancing in Bromley.
four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Bromley concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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.
I am four weeks into a freehold purchase having been referred to solicitors by the estate agent to perform conveyancing in Bromley. I am am very disappointed with the quality of service. Could you help me find new conveyancers?
A lawyer would need to be really poor to suggest replacing them. Has the mortgage been issued? In the event that it has you will need to advise them of the replacement lawyer and get the loan are re-issued. The conveyancer needs to be on the lenders approved list to avoid added expenses and complications. That should be your first question of the new conveyancers.

Back In 2003, I bought a leasehold flat in Bromley. Conveyancing and Barclays Direct mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing practitioner in Bromley who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to make sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Bromley conveyancing solicitor to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
After years of negotiations we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Bromley. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Where there is a missing landlord or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to judgment on the price.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Bromley residence is 26 Rhondda Grove in June 2009. The net price payable by the leaseholders as determined by the Tribunal was £3,015.13. This comprised £11,300 premium for the reversion less £8,284.87 costs as ordered by the County Court.
I need to consider quotes for conveyancing in Bromley from numerous solicitor and appoint one. Am I right to get them to hold tight until I have found somewhere to purchase.
You should only ask your lawyer to commence work and apply for searches once the offer has been accepted on the property particularly as Bromley conveyancing searches are not cheap.
