My colleague suggested that where I am buying in Millwall I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
This is a search is usually included in the estimate for your Millwall conveyancing searches. It is a large report of more than thirty pages, listing and detailing significant information about Millwall around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the type of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime details, Millwall Education with plans and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data regarding Millwall.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to my property can not be found. The conveyancers who handled the conveyancing in Millwall 4 years ago are no longer around. Will I be able to sell the house?
As long as the title is registered the information relating to your proprietorship will be recorded by the Land Registry under a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, find your house and get current copies of the Registered Entries for a small fee. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be retrieved for a small fee.
I am buying a new build house in Millwall with a mortgage from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent told me not inform my lawyer about the deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with The Royal Bank of Scotland. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Millwall ground floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Millwall conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your previous Millwall conveyancing lawyer is not available you can review your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The accepted inference is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must obtain permission via your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior consent. The consent must not not be unreasonably turned down. If your lease prohibits you from letting out the property you will need to ask your landlord for their consent.
I am the proprietor of a basement flat in Millwall. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the amount payable for a lease extension?
if there is a absentee freeholder or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to determine the price payable.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Millwall property is 12, 14 & 16 Hull Close in May 2010. the Tribunal determined that the premium payable for the acquisition of the freehold to the subject premises was the sum of £18,300 This case related to 3 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 101.61 years.
My offer on detached house in Millwall has been agreed to, the vendor does however have an associated purchase. The sellers have submitted an offer on a property, although it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Millwall. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Kent Reliance?
It is understandable to have anxieties where there is an associated chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Millwall conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your property lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many buyers would apply for a home loan with Kent Reliance and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their lawyer to press on with the conveyancing in Millwall.
