Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gospel Oak

My relative suggested that if I am purchasing in Gospel Oak I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

This is a search is sometimes included in the estimate for your Gospel Oak conveyancing searches. It is not a small report of about 40 pages, listing and setting out important information about Gospel Oak around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Gospel Oak Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information about Gospel Oak.

It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Gospel Oak completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Gospel Oak. 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 conveyancing.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Gospel Oak

    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. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. 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. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Gospel Oak I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Gospel Oak in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years 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 existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

Hoping to buy a property located in Gospel Oak and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Gospel Oak. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Gospel Oak area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Gospel Oak. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

We're new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Gospel Oak

It is improbable the sellers are driving this. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is going to damage their objectives. Contact the vendors directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to use your preferred Gospel Oak conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures set by corporate headquarters.
