2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Iver took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Iver and how can your lawyers assist?
The 1954 Act provides protection to commercial leaseholders, giving them the right to apply to court for a new tenancy and continue in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act to your advantage and help with commercial conveyancing in Iver
I own a leasehold flat in Iver. Conveyancing and National Westminster Bank mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing solicitor in Iver who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
First contact the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to incur the fees of a Iver conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I inherited a a ground floor purpose built flat in Iver. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum due for the purchase of the freehold?
Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a Iver conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Iver property is 164 Nestles Avenue in October 2013. The tribunal agreed with the proposed price of £20,158 for the freehold and determined that that sum is the amount to be paid into court This case was in relation to 2 flats. The unexpired lease term was 69 years.
Me and my husband are first time buyers just having agreed a price on a property in Iver, and are now looking to get solicitors lined up. I have made use of the various rating tools and the quotes are from all across the the UK. Is it advisable to have a Iver lawyer local to your prospective property? We are content to do all the communicating electronically, but I am thinking at some stage we will be required to attend the solicitor's office to sign contracts?
Generally there is no requirement to physically visit the office of your property lawyer, they can post any relevant contracts to you, which you can sign and return. Many home movers nevertheless opt to use a locally based solicitor, but it's by no means essential for conveyancing in Iver.
