I have justbecome aware that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Grove Park for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Grove Park conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Grove Park differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Grove Park come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because builders in Grove Park usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Grove Park or who has acted in the same development.
I want to let out my leasehold flat in Grove Park. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Do I need to ask my freeholder for permission?
Some leases for properties in Grove Park do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
My wife and I have hit a brick wall in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Grove Park. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
