I have given 8 weeks notice to my existing landlord and must vacate my rented apartment in Somerstown by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is underway. Can I complete in three weeks as don't want to have to find short term accommodation?

The normal practice is not to give notice on a rental until exchange of contracts has taken place. Assuming that you have not previously done so, notify to your lawyer and urge them to they seek the assistance the owners solicitors, try to an acceptable time-line that all parties will work to achieve

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the process of conveyancing in Somerstown. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

I am purchasing my first flat in Somerstown with a mortgage from Clydesdale. The builders refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my lawyer about this side-deal as it will put at risk my mortgage with Clydesdale. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder 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.

When appointing a solicitor for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Somerstown conveyancing practice) it is essential that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work. We recommend that you talk with two or three firms including non Somerstown conveyancing practices prior to instructing a firm. If the firm is ALEP accredited then that’s a bonus. The following questions might be helpful:

    How experienced is the firm with lease extension legislation?

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such issues? Can you recommend a Somerstown conveyancing firm to help?

in cases where there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to judgment on the price.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Somerstown premises is Flat 120, Clare Court Judd Street in August 2013. the Tribunal held that the premium to be paid for the extension of the lease should be £64,650 This case affected 1 flat.
