We chose a high street firm for my conveyancing in Fairlop today. Reviewing the small print it is apparent thatwe are on the hook for fees even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I ditch them and select a web based lawyer offering no move no charge conveyancing in Fairlop?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is available then the conveyancing charges will generally be more expensive to offset the conveyances that do not go ahead. You should be mindful that such promotions rarely cover disbursements such your Fairlop conveyancing search costs.
My brother and I have lately acquired a house in Fairlop. We have since encountered a number of issues with the property which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? Can you clarify the type of searches that needed to have been carried out for conveyancing in Fairlop?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Fairlop. Conveyancing searches and due diligence initiated as part of the legal transfer of property are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, a seller answers a form known as a SPIF. answers ends up being inaccurate, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Fairlop.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home moving as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Fairlop. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will instruct a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Fairlop?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Fairlop.

Aldermore have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a house in Fairlop has been agreed to, what happens next?

The sellers have placed an offer on a flat, however it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other properties in the pipeline. I have selected a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Fairlop. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then survey, Fairlop conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is ensure that your conveyancer is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.

In a buoyant market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their property lawyer to press on with searches.

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Please supply a car parking plan. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. 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.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to sub-let our Fairlop 1st floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Fairlop conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your previous Fairlop conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The rule is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain consent from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
