I am purchasing a new build flat in South Woodford and my lawyer is telling me that she is duty bound to the lender to reveal incentives from the builder. I am nearing the developer’s deadline to exchange contracts and my preference is not to delay matters. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your conveyancing practitioner. A precondition to being on a lender panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The UK Finance Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
What is the first thing I need to know regarding purchase conveyancing in South Woodford?
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in South Woodford or throughout England and Wales is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the home moving process. For example, the vendor, estate agent and on occasion the lender. Choosing a solicitor for your conveyancing in South Woodford should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose responsibility is to protect your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. For example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your conveyancer is wrong. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

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. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.
My dad purchased his flat in South Woodford Six years ago. He has since got married, widowed and is now married again. He will be marketing the flat next summer. I think he will simply be asked to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the lawyer however he is worried it could delay the conveyancing. Should he instruct a property lawyer to update the land title documents for the property?
You are not required to update the title for the property on the basis that you have the proof required to demonstrate how the change of name has come about.
The buyer’s solicitor should review the land registry information and requisition evidence to establish the change of name for example marriage documentation.
