My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Fortis Green. I need to find out whether they are on the Chelsea Building Society conveyancing panel. Can you advise?
You should phone the conveyancer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively you can get in touch with Chelsea Building Society who may be able to confirm.
I have justbeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Fortis Green for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to check if the premises is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Fortis Green conveyancing specialists.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Fortis Green I like with a park and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Fortis Green suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

All being well we will complete the sale of our £125,000 maisonette in Fortis Green next week. The freeholder has quoted £384 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and previous years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Fortis Green?
Fortis Green conveyancing on leasehold apartments normally requires the buyer’s conveyancer submitting questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to answer such questions the majority will be content to do so. They are at liberty to levy a reasonable administration fee for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it exceeds £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration charges, without which the invoice is not strictly payable. In reality one has little choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to complete the sale of your home.
I have given up trying to purchase the freehold in Fortis Green. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?
You certainly can. We can put you in touch with a Fortis Green conveyancing firm who can help.
