Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Gospel Oak

I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Gospel Oak for our home move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Bank of Scotland won't deal with them. Surely this is unfair competition?

A decade ago most banks had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Gospel Oak conveyancing firms would have been on many bank panels. The FSA in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which come to the conclusion: mortgage lenders should know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more data from law firms relating to their operations and the individuals who work for them and establishing certain criteria such a completing on a minimum number of transactions. Many Gospel Oak conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Gospel Oak is one of the hundreds of locations where the solicitors we list are on the panel for Bank of Scotland.

Various online forums that I have visited warn that are the main reason for obstruction in Gospel Oak conveyancing transactions. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Gospel Oak.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Gospel Oak with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent advised me not disclose to my solicitor about this extras as it may impact my loan with the bank. Is this normal?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Gospel Oak ahead of appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks will refuse to give a loan on this type of property.

It varies from the lender to lender. Bank of Scotland has different instructions from Halifax. If you e-mail us we can investigate further via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Gospel Oak. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Gospel Oak to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

I only have Seventy years left on my flat in Gospel Oak. I now wish to get lease extension but my landlord is absent. What are my options?

On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you have used your best endeavours to locate the freeholder. In some cases an enquiry agent would be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a property lawyer both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Gospel Oak.

Following months of negotiations we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Gospel Oak. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?

if there is a absentee freeholder or where there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to make a decision on the price payable.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Gospel Oak premises is Flat 2 27 Mackeson Road in December 2012. The Tribunal assessed the value of the lease extension premium at £35,435 and rounded the figure to £35,500 This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 64.77 years.

I have just started marketing my garden apartment in Gospel Oak.Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed however I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?

The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance payments will be allottedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially
