I have been pointed in your direction by a few estate agents in Gospel Oak to locate a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your site ahead of a competitor’s?
We don’t give any financial incentive for sending work to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
In my capacity as executor for the will of my grandfather I am selling a residence in Monmouth but live in Gospel Oak. My lawyer (approximately 250 kilometers awayhas requested that I sign a statutory declaration prior to the transaction finalising. Can you recommend a conveyancing practitioner in Gospel Oak to attest and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you are not likely to need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will do regardless of whether they are located in Gospel Oak
Last November I purchased a leasehold flat in Gospel Oak. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I have had difficulty in trying to purchase the freehold in Gospel Oak. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
Where there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the LVT to judgment on the amount due.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Gospel Oak property 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 affected 1 flat. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 64.77 years.
