I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Does this mean I have to use their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to instruct a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Harold Hill?
Do check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel solicitors if you accept the "fee-free" deal. Contact the mortgage company to ask if they allow a monetary alternative. In the past a few mortgage companies offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Harold Hill.
I am being told by my solicitor that flying freehold insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Harold Hill conveyancing?
The right level of flying freehold indemnity insurance should be dictated by who your lender. It would differ for example between HSBC Bank and Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.
I currently have a mortgage with Virgin Money for my property in Harold Hill. Conveyancing has been completed a year ago. In the event that I decide to rent out the flat and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Virgin Money?
Virgin Money must be informed of your intention in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Virgin Money’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Virgin Money directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Virgin Money conveyancing panel solicitor.
Aldermore have agreed my home loan in principle, my bid on a house in Harold Hill has been agreed to, what are the next steps?
The property agent will want to be informed of your conveyancer's details (ensure that the solicitors are on the bank’s approved list). Telephone Aldermore or the broker and finalise any appropriate forms. Aldermore will appoint a valuer who will get in touch with the selling agent or seller to schedule an appointment. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days to get a mortgage offer. Aldermore will issue the offer to you and your lawyers. The legal work will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Harold Hill.
Just bought a terraced house in Harold Hill , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Harold Hill conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Harold Hill is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not usually primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

The 1954 Act affords a safeguard to business lessees, granting the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a new tenancy and continue in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complicated. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

I am a negotiator for a busy estate agent office in Harold Hill where we have experienced a few leasehold sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Harold Hill conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
