The Lower Clapton conveyancing firm handling our Lower Clapton conveyancing has uncovered an inconsistency between the information in the valuation survey and what is in the conveyancing documents. My lawyer informs me that he needs to ensure that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my conveyancer’s stance appropriate?

Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Lower Clapton is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Lower Clapton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Lower Clapton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Lower Clapton may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Lower Clapton. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Lower Clapton - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Having spent months of negotiations we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Lower Clapton. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

Most certainly. We are happy to put you in touch with a Lower Clapton conveyancing firm who can help.
