I opted for a Newham based firm for my conveyancing in Newham yesterday. Going through the Ts and Cs it is apparent thatI am responsible for fees even where the transaction does not complete. Would I be best advised to appoint an on-line conveyancing brokerage who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Newham?
It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is offered then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to counteract the conveyances that fail to complete. Also remember that such promotions rarely protect you from disbursements such as Newham conveyancing search fees.
It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Newham completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Newham. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Newham

The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Newham I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Newham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I bought a house in Newham last 15/10/2024 and to date it is still not registered with the Land Registry. It is part of a development site and my property lawyer told me that it can take twelve months to register. I have called HM Land Registry directly and they have informed me the original application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. Do I need to be concerned?
