The Hartford conveyancing firm handling our Hartford conveyancing has discovered an inconsistency between the information in the valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he must check that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s course or action legitimate?
Your conveyancing practitioner must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

My wife and I are intent on selling our property in Hartford and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Hartford. Having lived in Hartford for 5 years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build flat in Hartford. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Hartford
-

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

All being well we will complete the sale of our £150,000 apartment in Hartford on Wednesday in a week. The freeholder has quoted £324 for Certificate of Compliance, building insurance schedule and 3 years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Hartford?
Hartford conveyancing on leasehold apartments often requires the buyer’s lawyer sending questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer such questions most will be content to do so. They may charge a reasonable administration fee for answering questions or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some situations it is above £800. The administration charge demanded by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of rights and obligations in relation to administration charges, otherwise the invoice is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has little choice but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.
I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Hartford, conveyancing was carried out September 1997. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Comparable properties in Hartford with over 90 years remaining are worth £260,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease runs out on 21st October 2101
With only 75 years left to run we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 plus costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
