I have recentlyfound out that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Newham for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I check that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The easiest way to see if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Newham conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Newham differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Newham contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Newham tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Newham or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Newham is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Newham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Newham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Newham 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.
How can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Newham and how can you help?
The 1954 Act gives protection to commercial tenants, giving them the right to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing. Newham is one of the numerous areas of the UK in which our lawyers are located
My partner has recommend that I use his conveyancers in Newham. Should I use them?
No doubt the best way to find a conveyancing practitioner is to get feedback from friends or relatives who have previously instructed the solicitor that you are contemplating using.
