My wife and I buying a victorian detached house in Leytonstone. Our aim is to an extension at the rear at the property.Will the conveyancing process include enquiries to ascertain if these works were previously refused?
Your property lawyer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Leytonstone can occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which restrict certain alterations or require the permission of a 3rd party. Certain extensions require local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Certain locations are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor prior to committing yourself to a purchase.
Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Leytonstone. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

Our sealed bid on a property in Leytonstone has been accepted, the sellers do however have a connected purchase. The owners have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Leytonstone. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Santander?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of £1k, then valuation, Leytonstone conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your lawyer is on the Santander approved list. Concerning the next phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many home buyers will apply for the mortgage with Santander and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Leytonstone.
I have recentlyfound out that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Leytonstone for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 10 months ago. How can I check that the property is not still registered in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Leytonstone conveyancing specialists.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

I am a negotiator for a busy estate agency in Leytonstone where we have experienced a few leasehold sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Leytonstone conveyancing solicitors. Can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can initiate the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as 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. This means 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 has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
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.
I am the leaseholder of a basement flat in Leytonstone. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum payable for a lease extension?
in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the LVT to assess the amount due.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Leytonstone residence 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 remaining number of years on the lease was 73.92 years.
