I have justfound out that Stirling Law have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Piccadilly for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 9 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is in my name in the name of the former proprietor?
The quickest method to check if the property is in your name, you can carry out 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 Piccadilly conveyancing specialists.
We are 14 days into a leasehold purchase having been directed to conveyancers by the high street agent to handle our conveyancing in Piccadilly. I am am extremely disappointed with the quality of service. Could you you assist me in finding new conveyancers?
They would have to be very poor to suggest replacing them. Has your mortgage offer been issued? If so you need to make them aware of the replacement conveyancer and get the mortgage documents are re-issued. The conveyancer needs to be on the lenders panel to avoid escalating charges and frustration. That should be your starting point.

I am a negotiator for a busy estate agency in Piccadilly where we have experienced a few flat sales derailed due to short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Piccadilly conveyancing solicitors. Can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease 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 buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is 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 Piccadilly. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum payable for a lease extension?
if there is a absentee landlord or where 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 determine the amount due.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Piccadilly residence is Flat 1 3 Upper Belgrave Street in December 2010. The Tribunal determined that the price payablefor the Lease extension in respect of the subject premises was £2,202,007 This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired lease term was 21 years.
I am contemplating instructing an online lawyer rather than a Piccadilly conveyancing practice. Am I making a mistake?
Numerous benefits exist in being able to pop in to a local Piccadilly conveyancing solicitor such as
- signing documents same day
- having face-to-face explanations of matters you don't understand
- the ability to raise concerns if matters go pear-shaped
When analysing estimates, look out for hidden extras. The majority decent Piccadilly high street solicitors give an all-inclusive price. Many online companies seem to offer discounted fees, yet have burried 'extras' in the small print.
