At long last a loan offer from HSBC for the remortgage of my single room garden flat is to be issued imminently. Are you able to propose a cheap conveyancing lawyer in Brompton?
You are on the wrong site if you are seeking the lowest fares for conveyancing in Brompton. Our intention is to offer cost effective conveyancing but our intention is not to work with the cheapest lawyers. Do not be swayed by organisations teasing you with £100 conveyancing in Brompton. In your best case scenario, in going for low cost conveyancing, you will end up with what you pay for and at worst it will result in you with a hefty uplift in extras and still not get the service required.
My wife and I have recently acquired a house in Brompton. We have noticed several problems with the house which we believe were omitted in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Brompton?
It is not clear from the question as to the nature of the problems and if they are specific to conveyancing in Brompton. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller answers a form referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information is incorrect, then you may have a claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Brompton.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Brompton. Do I pick up the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Brompton?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
We are planning to move property in January. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you suggest a removal company in Brompton. Conveyancing lawyer was found before I stumbled across your site.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the house keys from your selling agent but this can only occur after the vendors solicitors inform the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be released. After that you should advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can assist you in finding a residential property solicitor in Brompton or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Brompton.
We are buying a 3 bedroom semi in Brompton. Our aim is to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will legal due diligence on the property include enquiries to see if these works are prohibited?
Your property lawyer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Brompton will on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain changes or need the permission of another owner. Many works require local authority planning permissions and approval under the building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be prudent to check these issues with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
A friend recommended that where I am purchasing in Brompton I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

It incorporates an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime statistics, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information regarding Brompton.
There are only 62 years unexpired on my flat in Brompton. I now want to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What are my options?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to locate the lessor. On the whole an enquiry agent should be useful to conduct investigations and to produce an expert document to be used as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering Brompton.
Following months of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Brompton. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
if there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to calculate the sum to be paid.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Brompton property is Flat 3 47 Cadogan Square in December 2010. the Tribunal determined that the premium payable to the landord by the leaseholder for the lease extension was £732,935 This case affected 1 flat. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 13.33 years.
We are soon to purchasing a apartment in Brompton. Conveyancing is not complete but we wish to keep the amount we are are buying for private from the likes of Nestoria. Is this achievable and how?
The Land Registry are legally bound to reveal price sold information on a register of the title for domestic properties nationwide including premises in Brompton. The register of title is an open document, so the Land Registry would be breaching their statutory obligations if they did not allow access to the register.
In essence you can make a request of HM Land Registry to hide the amount paid entry yet the answer would be in the negative.
