It is a dozen years since I purchased my home in Redbridge. Conveyancing lawyers have just been instructed on the sale but I can't track down the deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the lender or they could still be with the conveyancers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in most cases the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Redbridge involves registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it is more tricky but is resolvable.

Have completed on a a terraced house in Redbridge , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Redbridge conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are addressed.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Redbridge registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any 3rd parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus registration formalities is not always primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Redbridge differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Redbridge come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Redbridge tend to purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Redbridge or who has acted in the same development.
Jane (my partner) and I may need to sub-let our Redbridge ground floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Redbridge conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
A lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will say if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Redbridge do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would undoubtedly devalue the flat. Instead, there is usually simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly sending a copy of the sublease.
After years of negotiations we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Redbridge. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

I have been looking for Redbridge online conveyancing estimates. Can I be sure that all the Redbridge law firms that are listed on your website are on the mortgage company conveyancing panel?
The solicitor and licensed conveyancing practices listed on our site have advised us that they are on the mortgage company panel and agreed to advise us to take down their listing in the event of removal off of the lender panel.
