My financial adviser has requested my Lansbury solicitor’s panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. Can you suggest how I discover this. I have e-mailed my local Lansbury office but they have not got back to me yet.
Have you tried contacting your Lansbury lawyer about this?. Most Lansbury conveyancing firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each mortgage company.
Should commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that may impact a commercial property in Lansbury?
Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Lansbury will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it dramatically cuts the time that conveyancers invest in investigating accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Lansbury. The search result provides definitive data on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Lansbury.
For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Lansbury it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately could cause delays to Lansbury commercial conveyancing deals as well as present a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not conducted for domestic conveyancing in Lansbury.
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Lansbury took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 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.
How does conveyancing in Lansbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Lansbury contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Lansbury typically 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 Lansbury or who has acted in the same development.
I am using a search engine for the term conveyancing in Lansbury it shows results of many solicitorsin the area. How do I determine which is the suitable conveyancing solicitor for purchase transaction?
The best method of finding the right conveyancer is via trusted testimonial, so ask friends and those you trust who have purchased a property in Lansbury or a local estate agent or financial adviser. Costs for conveyancing in Lansbury vary, so it's sensible to secure a minimum of four quotes from varying types of conveyancers. Be sure to secure confirmation that the charges are guaranteed not to increase.
I am a negotiator for a long established estate agency in Lansbury where we see a number of leasehold sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Lansbury conveyancing solicitors. Please can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed 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 buyer.
Having spent years of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Lansbury. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a Lansbury conveyancing firm who can help.
