Various internet forums that I have visited warn that are the primary cause of stalling in South Norwood house deals. Is there any truth in this?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published conclusions of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the common causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in South Norwood.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in South Norwood ahead of instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not issue a loan on this type of premises.
It depends who your proposed lender is. HSBC has different instructions for example to Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can check via the appropriate lender. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in South Norwood. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in South Norwood especially if they regularly deal with such properties in South Norwood.
I have been pointed in your direction by a few property agents in South Norwood to get a quote from a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial incentive for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers over and above a competitor’s?
We refuse to give any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent advised that the owners will only proceed if we instruct the agent's preferred lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a family solicitor used to conveyancing in South Norwood
It is unlikely the owners are driving this. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Speak to the owners direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted South Norwood conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in South Norwood. Before diving in I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in South Norwood - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
I have given up trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in South Norwood. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
You certainly can. We can put you in touch with a South Norwood conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a South Norwood residence is Flats 55, 67 & 70 Melbourne Court Anerley Road in July 2013. The tribunal calculated that the premium for the extended lease at £48,366.00 for at 55, and £88,329.00 for ats 67 and 70 combined. This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 26.38 years.
