I own a terraced Edwardian property in Little Ilford. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Leeds Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Little Ilford and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing solicitor who conducted the conveyancing.
I am purchasing my first flat in Little Ilford with a loan from Bank of Scotland. The developers would not reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent told me not to tell my solicitor about the deal as it would affect my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Little Ilford I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Little Ilford suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
Is it best to go with a Little Ilford conveyancing practitioner based in the area that I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can deal with the legal formalities however they are based a couple of hundredmiles drive away.
The primary upside of using a high street Little Ilford conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to execute documents, hand in your identification documents and pester them if necessary. Having local Little Ilford know how is a plus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have used your friend and the majority were content that must outweigh using an unknown Little Ilford conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being Little Ilford based.
