Just contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Norwood Green who acted for me two years ago asking for a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a loan from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. I am now being charged double. Stick with what I know or do I try and find a cheaper online property lawyer?
The quote is fractionally on the expensive side. If you you were to look around you might trim some of the cost by perhaps £125.

I am planning to move home in July. Should my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Norwood Green. Conveyancing firm was chosen before I stumbled across this website.
On the day of completion you can collect the house keys from your property agent but this should only take place when the sellers conveyancers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be released. After that you will need to advise the removal company that they can start moving you in. We do not suggest a particular removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Norwood Green or a solicitor that specialises in conveyancing in Norwood Green.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with Coventry BS. Norwood Green conveyancing lawyers were selected. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Coventry BS?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Coventry BS done the valuation? Have you informed Coventry BS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
Clydesdale have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a house in Norwood Green has been agreed to, now what?
Your estate agent will need to be advised as to your property lawyer's details (ensure that the conveyancers are on the bank’s panel). Call up Clydesdale or the financial adviser and finish off any relevant documentation. Clydesdale will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the estate agent or seller to arrange a time for the valuation to happen. Once conducted (assuming no problems) it takes approximately a fortnight to get a mortgage offer. Clydesdale will send the offer to you and your property lawyers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Norwood Green.

I am employed by a busy estate agency in Norwood Green where we have experienced a few flat sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Norwood Green conveyancing solicitors. Please can you clarify whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start 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 disposal of the property.
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 buyer.
I am the proprietor of a two-bedroom flat in Norwood Green. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the premium payable for a lease extension?
if there is a absentee landlord or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the LVT to calculate the premium.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Norwood Green premises is 6 Jessamine Road in August 2013. The Tribunals valuation (as annexed to the decision) calculated the amount payable as £18,355 for the freehold reversion This case affected 2 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 72.39 years.
