This question may be naive but I am unexperienced as FTB of a two bedroom flat in East Dulwich. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in East Dulwich?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the completion advance to the owner’s lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.
I am expecting a AIP from Nottingham this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Nottingham recommend any East Dulwich solicitors on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint East Dulwich solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.
My partner and I are selling our home in East Dulwich and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street East Dulwich lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in East Dulwich. Having lived in East Dulwich for many years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to obtain clarification need.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. What do they say? You must check with 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 health insurance to cover that same ailment)
The deeds to my house are lost. The conveyancers who dealt with the conveyancing in East Dulwich 4 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
These day there are duplicates made of almost everything, and your conveyancer will be aware exactly where to look for all the relevant documentation so you may purchase or dispose of your property without any difficulty. Where copies can’t be located, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against possible claims on your property.
I am employed by a reputable estate agent office in East Dulwich where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local East Dulwich conveyancing firms. Please can you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease 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 proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is 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.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such issues? Can you recommend a East Dulwich conveyancing firm to assist?
Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a East Dulwich conveyancing firm who can help.
