Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Chigwell

My father pointed out to me me that in purchasing a property in Chigwell there may be various restrictions prohibiting external changes to the property. Is this right?

There are a number of properties in Chigwell which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to execute external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Chigwell should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.

We had selected conveyancing lawyers locally in Chigwell on the TSB solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental sum for dealing with the TSB mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by TSB?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your solicitor can levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by TSB but by your Chigwell lawyer. Some firms on the TSB panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.

I have instructed a Chigwell solicitor having checked that they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Bank of Ireland will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Bank of Ireland will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Chigwell surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I completed on my home on 14 September and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Chigwell expressed confidence that it will be concluded in less than a month. Are titles in Chigwell uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Chigwell registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any other parties. Currently roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the new owner is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I would like to let out my leasehold flat in Chigwell. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?

Notwithstanding that your last Chigwell conveyancing lawyer is not around you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to seek permission via your landlord or other appropriate person prior to subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. The consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.

I am the leaseholder of a first flat in Chigwell. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the amount due for the purchase of the freehold?

Where there is a missing freeholder or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to determine the price.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Chigwell flat is 201 & 201a St. Barnabas Road in October 2013. The Tribunal decided that the price to be paid by the Applicants for the freehold interest is £20,071. This case was in relation to 2 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 69.26 years.
