Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Earlsfield

Can I use your services to recommend a Conveyancing solicitor in Earlsfield even if I’m not buying or disposing of a house, for example if I want to buy an office in Earlsfield with a loan from Skipton Building Society?

My wife and I are selling our property in Earlsfield and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. Any high street Earlsfield conveyancer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using a web based conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Earlsfield. We have lived in Earlsfield for many years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek confirmation need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. 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 life insurance to cover that same illness)

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Earlsfield. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Earlsfield

    Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Earlsfield I like with a park and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Earlsfield for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

We are 3 weeks into a freehold purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the selling agent to do our conveyancing in Earlsfield. I am am extremely dissatisfied with the quality of service. Could you you assist me in finding new solicitors?

A lawyer would need to be very bad in order to consider diss instructing them. Has the loan offer been generated? If so you need to make them aware of the new contact details and ensure the mortgage documents are issued to the new lawyers. The solicitor ideally should be on the banks approved list to avoid supplemental fees and delays. So that should be your first question of the new lawyers. Our search tool will assist you in finding a bank approved lawyer for your home move in Earlsfield

I work for a long established estate agent office in Earlsfield where we see a number of leasehold sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Earlsfield conveyancing solicitors. Please can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.

Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

Following years of correspondence we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Earlsfield. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to make a decision on the price payable.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Earlsfield premises is 35 Trewint Street in February 2012. The Tribunal arrived at a premium of £32 425 for the freehold reversion. The matter was transferred back to the court for further consideration which required the applicants pay the premium (less any assessed costs) into court after which the court would execute a transfer of the freehold. This case was in relation to 2 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 70.57 years.
