Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Patcham

I am planning to acquire a property and require a conveyancing solicitor in Patcham who is on the Lloyds TSB Bank conveyancing. Could you point me in the right direction as regards a conveyancing firm?

Our service is limited to being a directory service for firms who wish to listed as being on the approved conveyancing panel for Lloyds TSB Bank in certain locations such as Patcham. We dont recommend any particular firm.

4 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Patcham concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 residence 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.

I am buying a new build flat in Patcham. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Patcham

    Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Patcham I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Patcham for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

The 1954 Act affords security of tenure to commercial tenants, giving them the a statutory right to apply to court for a renewal lease and continue in occupation at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are involved. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

We are a fortnight into a freehold purchase having been recommend to a firm by the high street agent to carry out the conveyancing in Patcham. We are not happy. Could you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?

A conveyancer would need to be very bad in order to consider changing them. Has the loan offer been sent? If so you must make them aware of the new contact details and have the loan are re-sent. The solicitor ideally should be on the lenders approved list to avoid added costs and delays. So that should be your starting point.
