I am in need of a property lawyer. Should I go for for a nationwide conveyancer or a local Morden Park conveyancing solicitor?
Generally conveyancing practitioners in your area will benefit from excellent relationships with your local authority, which can help with the Morden Park conveyancing searches that your conveyancer will need to carry out. It also helps if they have existing rapport with the Land Registry in your area Morden Park, other conveyancers in the neighbourhood and Morden Park Estate Agents.
My nephew is buying a newly built flat in Morden Park with a mortgage from UBS. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the UBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the UBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Morden Park is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Morden Park are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Morden Park you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Morden Park 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 work for a busy estate agent office in Morden Park where we have experienced a number of flat sales derailed due to short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Morden Park conveyancing firms. Can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
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 have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can one apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Morden Park conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
Most certainly. We can put you in touch with a Morden Park conveyancing firm who can help.
