Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Romford

It is 10 years ago since I purchased my property in Romford. Conveyancing lawyers have just been appointed on the sale but I am unable to track down the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be with your lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly in most cases the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Romford relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is not registered it is more of a problem but is not insurmountable.

My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Romford. I I am struggling to find out whether they are on the Halifax conveyancing panel. Can you or the lender confirm if they are on the panel?

The first thing you should do is e-mail your solicitor and enquire if they can act for the bank. Otherwise you should call Halifax who may be able to assist.

What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Romford

Two types of professional can execute conveyancing in Romford namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. The two can administer conveyancing services that you need to complete the disposal or purchase of property. They are both obliged to execute Romford conveyancing to the same quality and guidelines so you can be sure that your conveyancing will be properly administered and that all necessary steps should be accurately taken.

Planning on purchasing a house in Romford. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Romford conveyancer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

I was told four weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by RBS. Is it usual for RBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Romford is approved on their conveyancing panel? RBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

I require expedited conveyancing in Romford as I am faced with pressure to exchange contracts in less than 2 weeks. Fortunately I do not require a mortgage. Can I avoid the conveyancing searches to save money and time?

If.Given you are not getting a home loan you are at free not to have searches conducted although no conveyancer would suggest that you don't. With plenty of history conveyancing in Romford the following are instances of what can appear and adversely impact market value: Enforcement Actions, Outstanding Fees, Overdue Grants, Railway Schemes,...

I have recently realised that I have Fifty years remaining on my flat in Romford. I now wish to get lease extension but my landlord is absent. What should I do?

If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have used your best endeavours to locate the lessor. On the whole a specialist should be useful to try and locate and prepare an expert document to be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a solicitor both on devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Romford.

We have reached the end of our tether in trying to purchase the freehold in Romford. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

in cases where there is a missing landlord or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to determine the premium.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Romford residence 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 was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 57.5 years.

How and when do I incur stamp duty due for my Romford flat purchase?

Your lawyer should fill out a stamp duty return on your behalf during your Romford conveyancing transaction for signature. After completion your solicitor will submit the STL Return Form to the Inland Revenue and - assuming they have the funds - pay any tax bill due on your behalf.
