As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Laleham what is the number one tip you can impart for the legal transfer of property in Laleham

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Laleham and elsewhere in England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for conflict between you and other parties involved in the transaction. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and on occasion the mortgage company. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Laleham should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose responsibility is to protect your best interests and to keep you safe.

On occasion a potential adversary may attempt to persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is slow. Or your mortgage broker may tell you to do something that is against your conveyancers guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

My fiance and I are buying a newly converted apartment in Laleham with a homeloan from Bank of Scotland.We like our Laleham conveyancing lawyer but Bank of Scotland advised that he's not listed on their "panel". It seems we have no choice but to instruct a Bank of Scotland panel firm or keep our local solicitor and fork out for a Bank of Scotland panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that solicitors must be on the Bank of Scotland approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Bank of Scotland

Taking into account that I am about to spend 450k on 3 bedroom house in Laleham I would like to talk to a conveyancer concerning thehome move in advance of giving the go ahead to the firm. Can this be arranged?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the solicitor who will be conducting your property ownership legalities in Laleham.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a matter reference. The practices that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Laleham should be the amount on the final invoice that you end up paying.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we instruct their preferred lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Laleham

It is improbable the vendors are behind this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Laleham conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.

I work for a busy estate agent office in Laleham where we have witnessed a few flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Laleham conveyancing firms. Please can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

Provided that the seller has owned the lease 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. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.

An alternative approach is 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.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such matters? Can you recommend a Laleham conveyancing firm to represent me?

if there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to make a decision on the price.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Laleham property is 147 Redford Close in June 2012. The Tribunal determined the lease extension premium to be at £4,200 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 82.93 years.
