Having sold my house in Felling and Pelaw last November yet the purchaser is SMS messaging me to moan that her solicitor needs to hear from mylawyer. What should my lawyer have done following completion?
Post completion of your sale your conveyancer is duty bound to forward the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. If applicable, your lawyer must also confirm that the mortgage has been repaid to the purchasers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures specific conveyancing in Felling and Pelaw.
My wife and I buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Felling and Pelaw. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process include investigations to determine if these alterations are allowed?
Your solicitor will review the registered title as conveyancing in Felling and Pelaw will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent certain works or necessitated the consent of a 3rd party. Certain extensions require local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Some locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or affect extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in January 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Principality are being difficult. The Felling and Pelaw solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
I have been told that property searches are a common cause of delay in Felling and Pelaw house deals. Is that correct?

Searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Felling and Pelaw.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Felling and Pelaw. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Set out below are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Felling and Pelaw
-
Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. 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. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Felling and Pelaw I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Felling and Pelaw in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
