I have justbeen informed that Action Conveyancing have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Poplar for a purchase of a freehold house 10 months ago. How can I check that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the premises 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 Poplar conveyancing specialists.
I am purchasing a new build house in Poplar with a mortgage from Chelsea Building Society. The developers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it will affect my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Poplar prior to appointing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. My surveyor has said that some banks may refuse to issue a loan on this type of property.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Poplar. Before I get started I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Poplar - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
Having spent years of correspondence we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Poplar. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
