As someone with no idea as to the Leytonstone conveyancing process what is your top tip you can give me for the ownership transfer in Leytonstone

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Leytonstone or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists plenty of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For example, the vendor, estate agent and even potentially your bank. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Leytonstone should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the transaction whose interest is to act in your best interests and to keep you safe.

Sometimes a potential adversary will try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by suggesting your lawyer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may advise you to do something that is against your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I have been told that property searches are the number one reason for stalling in Leytonstone house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the top 10 causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Leytonstone.

How does conveyancing in Leytonstone differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Leytonstone approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Leytonstone typically purchase 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Leytonstone or who has acted in the same development.

Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on the disposal of our £275,000 garden flat in Leytonstone next Tuesday. The landlords agents has quoted £396 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years statements of service charge. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Leytonstone?

Leytonstone conveyancing on leasehold apartments usually necessitates the purchaser’s lawyer sending enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to respond to such questions most will be willing to do so. They may charge a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some cases it is above £800. The management information fee levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of rights and obligations in respect of administration fees, without which the invoice is not strictly payable. In reality you have no option but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to complete the sale of your home.

I am the registered owner of a second floor flat in Leytonstone. In the absence of agreement between myself and the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the sum payable for a lease extension?

in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to judgment on the premium.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Leytonstone flat is 36 New Wanstead in August 2010. The Tribunal arrived at a valuation of the premium for the freehold of £22,359. This case related to 2 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 73.92 years.
