Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Millbank

The sellers of the house we are hoping to buy have instructed a conveyancing firm in Millbank who has insisted on a preliminary agreement with a non-refundable deposit 6,000. Are such arrangements promoted for Millbank conveyancing transactions?

This form of preliminary agreement is unusual in Millbank, conveyancers are not keen on them as they divert attention from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up having your deposit forfeited then the lawyer is left exposed. Secondly, there is no assurance that just because the seller has entered into a lock out contract they will complete the sale with you. They may be motivated to break the contract if they are offered a large enough financial inducement to do so because a wronged buyer with the benefit of a exclusivitycontract will still be duty bound to show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equalise the extra amount that the owner may secure by breaching the contract, no matter how morally unworthy the behaviour is.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the property agent has warned us that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred solicitors as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Millbank

It is highly unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they require ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Millbank conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.

I've found a house that seems to meet my requirements, at a great figure which is making it all the more appealing. I have since discovered that the title is leasehold rather than freehold. I am assuming that there are issues purchasing a house with a leasehold title in Millbank. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been appointed. Will my lawyers set out the risks of buying a leasehold house in Millbank ?

Most houses in Millbank are freehold rather than leasehold. This is one of the situations where having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area who can help the conveyancing process. We note that you are purchasing in Millbank in which case you should be looking for a Millbank conveyancing solicitor and check that they are used to transacting on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the unexpired lease term. Being a leaseholder you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions for example obtaining the freeholder’sconsent to carry out alterations. You may also be required to pay a service charge towards the upkeep of the estate where the property is part of an estate. Your conveyancer should advise you fully on all the issues.

After years of dialogue we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Millbank. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

if there is a absentee landlord or where there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to judgment on the price payable.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Millbank flat is Flats 12A & 19, Evelyn Mansions Carlisle Place in June 2009. The Tribunal held that the price to be paid for the new lease of Flat 12A is £168,824, For the other flat the price was set at £169,110 This case related to 2 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 56 years.

We are in the process of acquiring a apartment in Millbank. Could the conveyancer have the amount we are are purchasing for private from sites such as Zoopla. what can I do to ensure this is not disclosed?

HM Land Registry by statute are required to reveal price sold information on the official title for residential properties nationwide including properties in Millbank. The register of title is a public document, so HMLR would be breaching their statutory obligations if they failed to allow access to the register.

You can make a request of HM Land Registry to withhold the price paid entry however the answer will be a No.
