Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Edgware

Can the conveyancing solicitors that are recommend conduct auction conveyancing in Edgware?

There are a number of niche lawyers we can connect you with those specialising in auction conveyancing. Edgware is just one of hundreds of locations where our lawyers are based.

We are aiming to move property in June. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you put forward a removal company in Edgware. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across your website.

On the afternoon of completion you can collect the house keys from the property agent however this can only be done when the previous owners conveyancers advise the agent that they acknowledge receipt of the completion payment and the keys can be collected. After that you will need to advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Edgware or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Edgware.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Edgware. One unusual aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender HSBC be concerned?

Given that your lender is HSBC your lawyer must check the conveyancing requirements outlined in Section two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC. The CML Handbook contains minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to HSBC where a lease fails to comply with these specifications. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not restricted to Edgware.

I am expecting a DIP from TSB this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do TSB recommend any Edgware solicitors on the TSB conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?

You will need to appoint Edgware solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the TSB conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and TSB through the process.

Should commercial conveyancing searches disclose planned roadworks that could impact a commercial site in Edgware?

Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Edgware will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers expend in researching accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Edgware. The report provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Edgware.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Edgware it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately may cause delays to Edgware commercial conveyancing transactions as well as pose a risk to future intentions for the site. These searches are not ordered for residential conveyancing in Edgware.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Edgware I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Edgware suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

If all goes to plan we aim to complete the sale of our £450,000 apartment in Edgware in 8 days. The managing agents has quoted £348 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Edgware?

For the majority of leasehold sales in Edgware conveyancing will involve, queries regarding the management of a building inevitably needing to be answered directly by the freeholder or its agent, this includes :

    Answering conveyancing due diligence questions Where consent is required before sale in Edgware Copies of the building insurance and schedule Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Edgware leasehold property is £350. For Edgware conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to supply the information.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can I make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Edgware conveyancing firm to help?

if there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the LVT to assess the price payable.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Edgware property is Ground Floor Maisonette 17 Milton Road in January 2014. The Tribunal determined the premium payable by the Applicant to the should be £13,299 This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired term was 71.73 years.

Some weeks ago I was informed by my mortgage company that their panel solicitors operate no move no fee basis for conveyancing in Edgware. Our purchase did not proceed yet the conveyancers have requested search fees! They are stating that the fees are nothing to do with their fees!

Edgware conveyancing search fees are disbursements not legal fees as these are paid to a third party.
