Recently asked questions about conveyancing in London

We are planning to acquire a house and need a conveyancing solicitor in London who is on the Lloyds approved panel. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to be listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Lloyds . We don't recommend any particular firms conducting conveyancing in London.

My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in London. I I am struggling to find out if they are accepted on the Barclays conveyancing panel. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

You should e-mail your conveyancer and ask them whether they can act for the lender. Alternatively you should call Barclays who may be able to confirm.

Do I need to be wary that estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a local London conveyancing practice?

As with lots of professional services, often referrals from relatives can be very helpful. But there are many players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may recommend lawyers to retain. On occasion these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there may be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You are free to choose your preferred conveyancer. Don't forget that many banks have an approved list of law firms you must use for the mortgage aspect of your home move.

Last August I purchased a leasehold house in London. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?

In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I am the proprietor of a ground-floor 1960’s flat in London. In the absence of agreement between myself and the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the premium payable for the purchase of the freehold?

in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the LVT to calculate the amount due.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a London property is 20 Avonwick Road in July 2013. The Tribunal was dealing with an application under Section 26 of the Leasehold Reform Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 for a determination of the freehold value of the property. It was concluded that the price to be paid was Fifteen Thousand Nine Hundred and Seventy (£15,970) divided as to £8,200 for Flat 20 and £7,770 for Flat 20A This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 73.26 years.
