Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Burnt Oak

I am acquiring a house for cash in Burnt Oak. I have lived for the last twelve years in Burnt Oak. Conveyancing searches are expensive. As I know the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

If you not getting a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Burnt Oak conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he is duty bound to take that path of guidance. One thing to take into account; if you are likely to sell the house in the future, it will likely be be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches reveal. There are plenty of instances where premises with no practical issues can still show up adverse search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Burnt Oak should provide you some practical guidance concerning this.

I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Burnt Oak for our home move. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our mortgage company Accord Mortgages Ltd won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?

Lenders on the whole restrict either the type or the volume of conveyancing solicitors on their member panel. A common example of such criteria being that a law practice must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, a few lenders have decided to limit the amount of solicitor practices they permit to represent them. Be aware that Accord Mortgages Ltd have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Accord Mortgages Ltd Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a primary driver in the reduction of conveyancing panels a few years ago even though there remains mixed opinions concerning the level of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Data from the Land Registry indicate that thousands of law firms, including some in or near Burnt Oak only execute very few conveyances per annum.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Burnt Oak?

Covenants that are restrictive in nature can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Burnt Oak. 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…’

How does conveyancing in Burnt Oak differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Burnt Oak come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Burnt Oak usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Burnt Oak or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking at a two maisonettes in Burnt Oak which have approximately fifty years remaining on the lease term. should I be concerned?

A lease is a right to use the property for a period of time. As the lease shortens the saleability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies may be reluctant to lend money on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We advise that you get professional assistance from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this field.

Having spent years of negotiations we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Burnt Oak. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?

Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a Burnt Oak conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Burnt Oak residence is 20 Orchard Court Stonegrove in June 2009. The tribunal decided that a premium of £11,040 should be payable for the new lease This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 71.55 years.

Been looking for a conveyancer for leasehold sale conveyancing in Burnt Oak. I'm selling, simple no mortgage to redeem, no hurry, no onward chain. Got a quote from a property lawyer for £900 including VAT which is a little high considering its so straightforward. Is it possible to find less expensive fees for conveyancing in Burnt Oak?

As it’s a sale only, £425 + VAT is likely to be about the cheapest for a Burnt Oak solicitor firm.
