Recently asked questions about conveyancing in London

My mortgage broker has requested my London solicitor’s panel member for the Santander conveyancing panel. What is the best way to discover this. I have contacted my local London office but they don't know it.

Have you tried speaking to your London lawyer about this?. They maintain a central record lender panel numbers.

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in London prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor advised that some lenders may not grant a loan on such a property.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions for example to Nationwide. If you call us we can check via the relevant lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in London. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in London especially if they are accustomed to such properties in London.

Given that I will soon spend £400,000 on a property in London I wish to talk to a lawyer about myconveyancing before appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

This is something that we recommend - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you speaking to the conveyancer who will be doing your conveyancing in London.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique individual, not a case reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are quoted for your conveyancing in London should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.

My partner has suggested that I use his conveyancing solicitors in London. Should I use them?

There are no two ways about it the ideal way to find a conveyancing lawyer is to get recommendations from friends or relatives who have previously instructed the firm you're considering.

We expect to complete the sale of our £225,000 apartment in London next week. The managing agents has quoted £420 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a flat conveyance in London?

London conveyancing on leasehold flats typically involves administration charges invoiced by management companies :

    Addressing pre-exchange enquiries Where consent is required before sale in London Supplying insurance information Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for London leasehold property is £350. For London conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to supply the information.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a London conveyancing firm to help?

Absolutely. We are happy to put you in touch with a London conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a London flat 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 residue of the current lease was 73.26 years.

Please set examples of compelling advantages to using a local conveyancing practitioner in London

Many buyers and sellers in London prefer a nearby high street solicitor so that they can pop into the firm’s offices just in case they have questions, and to collect paperwork without using the post.

One could say that there is a distinct advantage in selecting a solicitor nearby to the premises you are hoping to purchase, due to the knowledge of the region and potential local issues - however this is moot. Most conveyancers are now over the web and may be almost anywhere.
