Our grandson is about to exchange on a newly built flat in Romford with a home loan from Co-operative. His conveyancer has said that there is a delay in receiving the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The document is intended to provide information to the main parties involved in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Co-operative conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Co-operative conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
I am aiming to move house in February. Will my conveyancing solicitor communicate with the removal company on the day of completion. As an aside, can you recommend a removal company in Romford. Conveyancing solicitor was chosen prior to coming across this site.
On the day of completion you can collect the keys from the selling agent however this should only happen after the vendors lawyers advise the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. You can tell the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a particular removal company but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Romford or a firm with expertise in conveyancing in Romford.

At last I have had an offer on a flat in Romford accepted, the sellers do nevertheless have an associated purchase. The vendors have put an offer on on an apartment, but it’s not yet agreed to, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in Romford. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Barclays going?
It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Romford conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you should check that your solicitor is on the Barclays approved list. As to the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a buoyant market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Barclays and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their solicitor to press on with searches.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Romford. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Romford
-
The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry.
Looking forward to exchange soon on a leasehold property in Romford. Conveyancing solicitors inform me that they will have a report out to me within the next couple of days. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?
Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Romford should include some of the following:
-
Do you need to have carpet in the flat or are you allowed wood flooring? Specifying your rights in relation to common areas in the building.For instance, does the lease grant a right of way over an accessway or hallways? Rent payments - what is due and when is collected, and be on notice if this is subject to change if lease has a provision for a slush account for major works?
I inherited a first floor flat in Romford. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the amount due for a lease extension?
Where there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to determine the price payable.
An example of a Lease Extension case for a Romford property is 37 Lodge Court High Street in November 2013. the decision of the LVT was that the premium to be paid for the new lease was £25,559 This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 57.5 years.
