There is lots of here about conveyancing in Mitcham Junction but can you isolate your top tip for selecting the right conveyancer in Mitcham Junction
It would be unwise to be tempted by the cheapest Mitcham Junction conveyancing costs illustration. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in advance.

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Mitcham Junction accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats booked. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Mitcham Junction. What do I do now? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with TSB?
It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Mitcham Junction conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the TSB approved list. As to the next phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market many buyers will apply for the mortgage with TSB and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their conveyancer to press on with searches.
Me and my brother purchased a terraced Victorian property in Mitcham Junction. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Platform Home Loans Ltd. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Mitcham Junction and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Mitcham Junction. Conveyancing and Yorkshire Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing solicitor in Mitcham Junction who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that this person is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Mitcham Junction conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. You should note that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I am the registered owner of a two-bedroom flat in Mitcham Junction. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum due for the purchase of the freehold?
in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or if 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 arrive at the price.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Mitcham Junction residence is 50 & 52 Southcroft Road in September 2013. The tribunals own valuation determined that the premium payable should be £29,000 This case affected 2 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 86.11 and 60.64.
The conveyancers handling our conveyancing in Mitcham Junction has sent papers to review that state the land is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not registred at the Land Registry?
Whilst the vast majorities of properties in Mitcham Junction are now registered with HMLR there are still some that are unregistered. Any property in Mitcham Junction that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Mitcham Junction property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Mitcham Junction conveyancing solicitors will be capable of dealing with this type of conveyancing but if any uncertainty exists the prevailing advice presently appears to be for the seller’s conveyancer to address the registration formalities first and subsequently sell - this can though naturally cause a protracted transaction.
