Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Crayford

We instructed a high street firm for my conveyancing in Crayford today. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions I noteI am responsible for fees even if the dealfalls through. Would I be best advised to select an internet conveyancing company advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Crayford?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to cover the cases that abort. Dont forget that these deals tend not to protect you from outlay such as Crayford conveyancing search costs.

I'm buying my first flat in Crayford with a mortgage from Lloyds TSB Bank. The sellers refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my solicitor about this side-deal as it will put at risk my loan with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Crayford I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Crayford in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

After months of correspondence we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Crayford. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?

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

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Crayford property is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case related to 13 flats. The unexpired term was 76 years.

What makes a Crayford lease problematic?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Crayford. Most leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Insurance obligations

You will have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. National Westminster Bank, Coventry Building Society, and Nottingham Building Society all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the purchaser to withdraw.
