Please could you recommend a Britannia accepted Loxford conveyancing conveyancer finish our house move within a short deadline? Would it be better to use a high street Loxford practice or a national firm?
We would be happy to suggest some excellent Loxford conveyancing firms. You can also walk up the main road in Loxford. Go in to some well established firms and ask to speak with a conveyancing solicitor for a quote. Mention your requirements together with your reasons and ask for a commitment on your deadline. Select the lawyer that you are most comfortable with.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a ground floor flat in Loxford. Do I collect the keys to the premises on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will find a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Loxford?
On the day of completion you do not need to go to the conveyancers office in Loxford. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be called to pick up the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.
My husband and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from Coventry BS as we want to carry out a loft conversion to our property in Loxford. Are we obliged to select a high street Loxford solicitor on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel to handle the paperwork?
Coventry BS would not normally appoint a member of their approved list of lawyers to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Coventry BS panel.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Loxford off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with HSBC. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with HSBC, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the HSBC conveyancing panel.
It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Loxford took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Loxford is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Loxford are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Loxford you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Loxford 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 property.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agency in Loxford where we see a number of leasehold sales jeopardised due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given contradictory information from local Loxford conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has been the owner 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 need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
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 purchaser.
I am the leaseholder of a basement flat in Loxford. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the premium payable for the purchase of the freehold?
if there is a missing landlord or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to arrive at the price.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Loxford flat is 9 Granville Road in June 2014. The tribunal determines the enfranchisement price payable by the applicants for the freehold was £32,548 This case affected 5 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 73.8 years.
