This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Barclays use our lawyer?

No, not really. The mortgage issued to you is subject to its various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Barclays solicitor 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.

It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds.

Can you provide any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Lea Bridge with the purpose of expediting the sale process?

  • Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Lea Bridge can be avoided where you get in touch lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ representatives.
  • If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should ensure that you are holding the original share certificate. Organising a duplicate share certificate is often a time consuming process and delays many a Lea Bridge conveyancing transaction. Where a reissued share certificate is needed, you should approach the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this as soon as possible. If there is a history of any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved prior to the flat being marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where a dispute is unresolved. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over as opposed to ongoing. Many landlords or Management Companies in Lea Bridge levy fees for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should discover the fee that they propose to charge. The management pack can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Lea Bridge. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but you should double-check by asking your conveyancers. A purchaser's conveyancer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is less than 80 years. It is therefore important at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can a leaseholder make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Lea Bridge conveyancing firm to assist?

My folks are unable to locate their Lea Bridge land registry title on the online search facility. They recall that sixty years ago when they bought the property there were complications with the post code not being identified on some systems.

Almost all premises in Lea Bridge should show up. Have you endevoured to search with just the postcode. Ordinarily it should identify all the houses and flats inside that postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will be there with a title number. If they bought 50 years ago it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The address could still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title deeds which could be with your parent’s bank.
