I can't travel far from Slade Green. I would like to know the understand why all Slade Green conveyancing practitioners are not on all bank panels?
Lenders point to the fact that solicitor-led fraud is considered to be responsible for millions of pounds of fraud annually.The dismissal of law firms off of lender panels started with the rise in mortgage fraud, which prompted a thematic review by the Financial Services Authority in 2011. Its outcome included recommendations for mortgage companies to review their conveyancing panels, which triggered a major policy change in the sector. This resulted in mortgage companies culling a number of firms off their official list of approved solicitors .
My wife and I are selling our home in Slade Green and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was constructed on contaminated land. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Slade Green. Having lived in Slade Green for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Slade Green concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the estate agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we instruct their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Slade Green
It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you intend to instruct your preferred Slade Green conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.
I work for a busy estate agency in Slade Green where we see a few flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local Slade Green conveyancing firms. Could you confirm whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such issues? Can you recommend a Slade Green conveyancing firm to help?
You certainly can. We can put you in touch with a Slade Green conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Slade Green property is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case related to 13 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 76 years.
At long last a mortgage offer from a lender for the refinancing of my 4 bedroom flat is due imminently. Can you suggest an efficient remortgage conveyancing lawyer in Slade Green ?
