Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my home can not be found. The lawyers who conducted the conveyancing in Greenhithe 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
You no longer need to hold title original deeds to establish that you are the registered proprietor of land or property, given that the Land Registry have everything they need in a digital format.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Greenhithe is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Greenhithe are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Greenhithe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Greenhithe may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my business property in Greenhithe and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act affords security of tenure to commercial leaseholders, granting the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a new tenancy and remain in occupation when the lease reaches an end. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

I need to retain a conveyancing solicitor for leasehold conveyancing in Greenhithe. I've stumble across a web site which appears to be the perfect solution If it is possible to get all this stuff done via web that would be ideal. Should I be wary? What are the potential pitfalls?

I wish to rent out my leasehold apartment in Greenhithe. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?
Notwithstanding that your previous Greenhithe conveyancing lawyer is not around you can check your lease to see if you are permitted to let out the premises. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to seek permission from your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of prior permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
I am the registered owner of a two-bedroom flat in Greenhithe. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the amount due for the purchase of the freehold?
if there is a missing landlord or where 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 Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to arrive at the price.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Greenhithe premises is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case related to 13 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 76 years.
At long last our conveyancing in Greenhithe is completing this Friday, yet the vendors I am purchasing from wants to move out on the Saturday noon. Do I agree to such a idea?
In situations where you require a loan then your lawyer will insist that you have vacant possession on Friday - the lending institution will demand it.
