We decided to go with a Mile End based solicitor for our conveyancing in Mile End yesterday. Going through the terms of engagement I noteI am on the hook for charges even if the dealdoes not happen. Should I ditch them and choose a web based conveyancing brokerage promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Mile End?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will generally be higher to offset the cases that do not proceed. Also remember that these deals rarely cover disbursements e.g. Mile End conveyancing search fees.
I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Mile End before retaining solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold aspect to the property. Our surveyor advised that some lenders may not give a mortgage on such a property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different requirements for example to Nationwide. If you e-mail us we can check with the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Mile End.

I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Mile End. I've land on a web site which seems to have the ideal solution If it is possible to get all the legals completed via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor flat in Mile End. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have just had a yearly service charge demand – Do I pay up?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as normal because all rents and maintenance payments should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can a leaseholder apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Mile End conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
Absolutely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Mile End conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Mile End flat is 26 Rhondda Grove in June 2009. The net price payable by the leaseholders as determined by the Tribunal was £3,015.13. This comprised £11,300 premium for the reversion less £8,284.87 costs as ordered by the County Court.
My partner and I have recently had an offer accepted on a flat and had meeting on Tuesday with Leeds Building Society for the mortgage. They have informed us that when it comes to selecting a conveyancing practitioner that if they are not on their approved list of property lawyers then we will have to pay out an extra charge of £250+. This is because they would then have to select a solicitor to act for them as well as the one we appoint for ourselves and we assume responsibility for their costs. I have asked Leeds Building Society to send me with a list so I can obtain estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told that I need to check with each individual lawyer to see if they are on the panel. Is their an easier way of going about this?
Ask Leeds Building Society what their criteria for joining their panel is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on mortgages for Leeds Building Society previously. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with Leeds Building Society. Another option is to use our search facility and we may be able to find you a property lawyer in Mile End on the panel for Leeds Building Society.
