Should our lawyer be asking questions about flooding during the conveyancing in East Beckton.
Flooding is a growing risk for solicitors specialising in conveyancing in East Beckton. There are those who buy a property in East Beckton, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, aside from the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to get a mortgage, suitable building insurance, or dispose of the premises. Steps can be carried out during the course of a property purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Conveyancers are not qualified to offer advice on flood risk, but there are a numerous searches that can be initiated by the purchaser or by their lawyers which can figure out the risks in East Beckton. The conventional set of information sent to a purchaser’s solicitor (where the solicitors are adopting what is known as the Conveyancing Protocol) contains a usual question of the owner to determine whether the premises has suffered from flooding. If the residence has been flooded in past and is not notified by the owner, then a buyer could bring a compensation claim as a result of such an incorrect response. The purchaser’s lawyers should also carry out an enviro report. This will indicate if there is any known flood risk. If so, more detailed investigations should be made.
five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in East Beckton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 East Beckton differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in East Beckton approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in East Beckton usually 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 used to new build conveyancing in East Beckton or who has acted in the same development.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in East Beckton and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to gives a safeguard to commercial lessees, giving them the right to apply to court for a new tenancy and remain in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

I am employed by a long established estate agent office in East Beckton where we have witnessed a few flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local East Beckton conveyancing solicitors. Could you confirm whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as 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 buyer.
Following years of correspondence we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in East Beckton. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Where there is a missing landlord or where there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to decide the price payable.
