Please help - my lawyer advises that lack of right of way insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Fairlop?
The right level of lack of right of way indemnity insurance depends on your lender. It would differ for example between Halifax and Skipton Building Society. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Virgin Money. Fairlop conveyancing practitioners are selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Virgin Money?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Virgin Money done the survey? Have you informed Virgin Money as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
We expect to receive a DIP from Lloyds this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Fairlop solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?
You will need to appoint Fairlop solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.
My friend advised me that if I am buying in Fairlop I should ask my conveyancer to perform a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is sometimes quoted for as part of the standard Fairlop conveyancing searches. It is a large report of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing significant information about Fairlop around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Fairlop Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Fairlop Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data regarding Fairlop.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Fairlop. Conveyancing is necessary evil 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.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Fairlop
-
Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. 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. 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.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one round the corner in Fairlop I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Fairlop for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
I am a sole trader planning to lease a unit on a shopping parade. Can you recommend solicitors offering no-move-no charges for commercial conveyancing in Fairlop for below £1,200?

I am looking to acquire a repression flat in Fairlop and the bank selling would like to complete within a month. Do solicitors meet that timeframe? Would it be better to instruct a high street Fairlop firm or an online conveyancer that advertises to complete quickly?
Visit your Fairlop high street. Go in to a couple of companies and request to talk to a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Set out your situation and seek a commitment on deadlines. Select the one that seems most efficient. Make sure to choose a conveyancing practitioner on the panel of conveyancers approved by your mortgage company.
