Can conveyancing in Goodmayes to be done within a month?

First, If the seller is applying a tight deadline to sign contracts it is highly recommended that your conveyancer is familiar with the area as they will benefit local contacts and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they may have transacted otherhouses in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Goodmayes conveyancing firm. Second, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is estimated that nearly one in five of Goodmayes conveyancing transactions are suspended or derailed after discovering a buyer’s solicitor was not on their banks panel.

It is understood that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home sales every year. Most Goodmayes conveyancing firms can not represent certain lenders so do check at the outset.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to appoint their panel solicitor as I would prefer to instruct a Goodmayes based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the the likelihood is that give you one of their panel conveyancers where you accept the "fee-free" offer. Call the lender and explore if they make available a monetary alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Goodmayes.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agency in Goodmayes where we have experienced a few flat sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given conflicting advice from local Goodmayes conveyancing firms. Could you clarify whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.

Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

I am the proprietor of a a ground floor purpose built flat in Goodmayes. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the premium payable for the purchase of the freehold?

Where there is a missing landlord or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the LVT to determine the price.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Goodmayes premises is 49 Aldborough Road South in July 2012. The Tribunal decided that the premium payable for the grant of the new lease was £13,925 This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 61.36 years.

We have today had a bid accepted on our 1st house in Goodmayes, and need to get solicitors appointed. I have made use of the various comparison tools and the quotes are from all across the country. Is it necessary to have a Goodmayes conveyancer local to your potential property? We are fine to do all the communicating electronically, but I assume at some point we will need to physically go into the lawyer's office to sign contracts?

Usually there is no need to physically visit the office of your solicitor, they can send any relevant papers to you, which you can sign and return. Many buyers and sellers prefer to use a locally based solicitor, but it's by no means essential for conveyancing in Goodmayes.
