Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Pimlico

Do all mortgage companies provide you with an approved list of Pimlico conveyancing solicitors? How do you know who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel?

Pimlico conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Co-operative conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Co-operative directly.

I have been told that property searches are the primary reason for stalling in Pimlico conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Pimlico.

I am purchasing a new build house in Pimlico benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it would adversely affect my mortgage with the bank. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I was advised by a number of selling agents in Pimlico to get a quote from a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers over a competitor’s?

We refuse to give any commission for sending work our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

I am hoping to complete next month on a basement flat in Pimlico. Conveyancing lawyers have said that they are sending me a report tomorrow. What should I be looking out for?

Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Pimlico should include some of the following:

    Defining your legal entitlements in respect of common areas in the block.For example, does the lease provide for a right of way over an accessway or hallways? What you can do if an adjoining owner is in violation of a provision in their lease? Rent payments - what is payable and when is collected, and also know whether this is subject to change Do you need to have carpet in the flat or are you allowed wood flooring? Where does the liability rest to repair and maintain the main walls and foundations. It is important for you to know who is duty bound to repair and maintenance of all parts of the block and estate
For a comprehensive list of information to be included in your report on your leasehold property in Pimlico please ask your conveyancer in advance of your conveyancing in Pimlico.

Notwithstanding our best endeavours, we have been unsuccessful in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Pimlico. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

if there is a absentee landlord or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the LVT to calculate the amount due.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Pimlico residence is Flats 12A & 19, Evelyn Mansions Carlisle Place in June 2009. The Tribunal held that the price to be paid for the new lease of Flat 12A is £168,824, For the other flat the price was set at £169,110 This case related to 2 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 56 years.
