Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Charterhouse

At what point does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Charterhouse and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?

Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Charterhouse you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Charterhouse)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Charterhouse concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.

How does conveyancing in Charterhouse differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Charterhouse contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Charterhouse tend to 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Charterhouse or who has acted in the same development.

Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in Charterhouse?

For most leasehold sales in Charterhouse conveyancing will involve, questions about the management of a building inevitably needing to be answered directly by the freeholder or its agent, this includes :

    Addressing pre-exchange questions Where consent is required before sale in Charterhouse Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your solicitor will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Charterhouse leasehold premises is £350. For Charterhouse conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to provide answers.

Following years of dialogue we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Charterhouse. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?

Where there is a missing landlord or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to arrive at the price.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Charterhouse premises is Flat 89 Trinity Court Grays Inn Road in February 2013. the Tribunal found that the premium to be paid by the tenant on the grant of a new lease, in accordance with section 56 and Schedule 13 to the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 should be £36,229. This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 66.8 years.

Our lawyer in Charterhouse has uncovered a defect with the lease for the apartment we are buying in Charterhouse. The other side have put forward defective title insurance as a workaround. We are content with insurance and will cover the costs. Our solicitor has advised that as he is on the bank conveyancing panel he must check that the lender is happy with this solution. Are we the client or is the bank?

Just because you have a mortgage offer from the mortgage company does not mean to say that the property will be meet their requirements for the purposes of a mortgage. Your Charterhouse conveyancing lawyer has to ensure that the lease has to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook Requirements. You and the lender are the client. The appropriate lender requirements have to be complied with by the mortgage company conveyancing panel who has to balance acting for you and the bank
