A friend advised me that in purchasing a property in Plaistow there could be a number of restrictions as to what one can do in terms of external alterations to the property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Plaistow which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to perform external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Plaistow should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
We are planning to move property in October. Does my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you suggest a removal company in Plaistow. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across your site.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the keys from the estate agent however this should only take place once the sellers lawyers confirm to the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you can tell the removal men that you are ready to move in. We do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a conveyancing in Plaistow or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Plaistow.
Is it correct that all Plaistow CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. That being said,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
Various web forums that I have frequented warn that are the main cause of hinderance in Plaistow conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the common causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of slowing down conveyancing in Plaistow.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Plaistow is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Plaistow are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Plaistow you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Plaistow may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
I'm remortgaging my existing property to a buy to let mortgage with Yorkshire Building Society and I will use the rest of the raised equity as a down payment on another house. The location we are talking about is Plaistow. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of lenders and link together the conveyances?
Make use of our comparison tool on this site to ensure that the lawyers are approved by both mortgage companies. Assuming that they are your lawyer should be able to simultaneously deal with the two deals but you should have a chat with you solicitor and make apparent your desired outcome and requirements.
All being well we will complete the sale of our £375,000 garden flat in Plaistow on Tuesday in a week. The management company has quoted £312 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a leasehold conveyance in Plaistow?
For most leasehold sales in Plaistow conveyancing will involve, questions about the management of a building inevitably needing to be answered directly by the freeholder or its agent, this includes :
-
Addressing pre-exchange questions
Where consent is required before sale in Plaistow
Copies of the building insurance and schedule
Deeds of covenant upon sale
Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such issues? Can you recommend a Plaistow conveyancing firm to represent me?
Where there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to calculate the amount due.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Plaistow flat is Ravensbourne Lodge 4 Highland Road in February 2013. the Tribunal held that the amount payable for the freehold was £22,268
