I have been referred to a conveyancing solicitor in Elmers End. I I am struggling to find out if they are on the Santander conveyancing panel. Could you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?
The first thing you should do is contact your solicitor and enquire whether they can act for the lender. Otherwise you should call Santander who may be able to help.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Elmers End. 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 legal work.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Elmers End
-
Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. 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. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and identified one near me in Elmers End I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Elmers End suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could 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 solicitor about this matter.

The landlords agents has quoted £372 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Elmers End?
Elmers End conveyancing on leasehold flats normally necessitates the purchaser’s lawyer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to such questions most will be willing to do so. They are at liberty to levy a reasonable administration fee for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it is above £800. The administration charge levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of rights and obligations in respect of administration fees, otherwise the invoice is technically not due. Reality however dictates that you have no option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to sell the property.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can a leaseholder make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Elmers End conveyancing firm to help?

My wife and I have had DIP from Barclays Direct who said we could borrow up to £218k. At what point do we need to instruct a solicitor for conveyancing? Elmers End is where we plan to move to.
It would be wise to instruct a solicitor now requesting that they create a file for you. This will enable: 1) the selling agent to send out the Sales Memo to the relevant parties 2) the seller’s solicitor to send out the draft paperwork. That being said, do not instruct your conveyancing practitioner to start searches until you have your valuation report from Barclays Direct and you are happy to move forward.
