I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a fairly new development (seven years built) in Eden Park. The vast majority the properties are already disposed of. Is it strictly necessary to order neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Eden Park?
If you getting a loan, your lender will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Eden Park conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or ask you to appoint a different lawyer for your conveyancing in Eden Park.
We are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our home in Eden Park and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Eden Park. Having lived in Eden Park for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You need to 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I have todaydiscovered that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Eden Park for a purchase of a leasehold flat 9 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to see if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Eden Park conveyancing specialists.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Eden Park. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 conveyancing.
Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Eden Park
-
The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. 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. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

Should one remove a departed person's name from the title deeds for a property in Eden Park?
Where a Eden Park property is co-owned and one of the proprietors passes away, their name will not automatically be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to remove their name as when it comes to a sale you would just be required to evidence why the joint proprietor is not included in the contract, such as a grant of probate.
With the aim of making the sale conveyancing simpler for the sale of the property you can apply to have the deceased person erased from the title by submitting an application to the land registry with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
