Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Radlett

My home in Radlett is up for sale and I have a purchaser. Will the conveyancing practitioner need to be required to be on the Santander conveyancing panel in order to deal with paying off my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Santander conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their requirements fairly frequently in recent years.

Various online forums that I have come across warn that are the number one cause of stalling in Radlett house deals. Is this right?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released findings of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are unlikely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Radlett.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Radlett with a loan from Birmingham Midshires. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it will affect my mortgage with the lender. Is this normal?.

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.

How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in Radlett and how can your lawyers assist?

The particular law that you refer to gives protection to business tenants, giving them the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing practices who use the act for protection and assist with commercial conveyancing in Radlett

Is it best to appoint a Radlett conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can execute the legal formalities but her office is approximately 350kilometers away.

The benefit of a high street Radlett conveyancing firm is that you can drop in to execute documents, present your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. Having local Radlett know how is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who instructed your friend and on the whole were impressed that must trump using an unfamiliar Radlett conveyancing solicitor just because they are Radlett based.

I am the leaseholder of a two-bedroom flat in Radlett. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the amount payable for a lease extension?

if there is a absentee landlord or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to judgment on the premium.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Radlett premises is 42 Churchill Road in March 2013. The Tribunal determined that the price payable in respect of the acquisition of the freehold of the property as required under the terms of the Court Order dated 21 December 2012, is£26,958 This case was in relation to 1 flat.

What are the common deficiencies that you witness in leases for Radlett properties?

Leasehold conveyancing in Radlett is not unique. Most leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain provisions are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Insurance obligations

You may have difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Yorkshire Building Society, The Royal Bank of Scotland, and Clydesdale all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to pull out.
