Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gipsy Hill

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Gipsy Hill. I I am struggling to find out if they are on the Birmingham Midshires approved list of lawyers. Could you help?

You should e-mail the lawyer and ask them whether they can act for the bank. Otherwise please get in touch with Birmingham Midshires who may be able to confirm.

I am planning on selling our property in Gipsy Hill and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers used an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Gipsy Hill. We have lived in Gipsy Hill for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same sickness)

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in Gipsy Hill I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Gipsy Hill for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

There are only Fifty years remaining on my lease in Gipsy Hill. I need to get lease extension but my landlord is can not be found. What options are available to me?

If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you have used your best endeavours to track down the landlord.

Some months ago I was advised by my lender that their panel lawyers operate no completion no charge basis for conveyancing in Gipsy Hill. I had a purchase abort nevertheless the conveyancers have requested search fees! They are claiming that the fees are independent!

in offering "no sale no fee" Gipsy Hill conveyancing practices are writing off their fees for any work done. We should point out that this does not constitute an insurance scheme. Disbursements aren’t covered – where the conveyancer have to pay money out to independent parties, for example Gipsy Hill local search fees
