Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance when buying a house in Chalk Farm. My lender is Accord Mortgages

Accord Mortgages have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 1/1/2025, the requirements read as follows :

We are selling our home in Chalk Farm and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. A local conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers are using a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Chalk Farm. Having lived in Chalk Farm for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to get clarification need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You should 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Chalk Farm is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Chalk Farm are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Chalk Farm you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Chalk Farm may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such issues? Can you recommend a Chalk Farm conveyancing firm to assist?

in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the LVT to calculate the price payable.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Chalk Farm residence is Flat 2 27 Mackeson Road in December 2012. The Tribunal assessed the value of the lease extension premium at £35,435 and rounded the figure to £35,500 This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 64.77 years.

What makes a Chalk Farm lease defective?

Leasehold conveyancing in Chalk Farm is not unique. Most leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    A duty to insure the building Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the property

A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Santander, Skipton Building Society, and Barclays Direct all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the purchaser to pull out.

I see that you have a post code search directory identifying firms on the lender conveyancing panel. Do Chalk Farm conveyancing companies pay you a referral fee if I retain them for my house purchase?

We are a listing service only for law firms wishing to communicate if they are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel or other lender panels. We do not charge referral fees to the any conveyancer that you subsequently appoint for your conveyancing in Chalk Farm.
