As someone not used to conveyancing in Stoke Newington what is the number one tip you can give me concerning the home moving process in Stoke Newington
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Stoke Newington and elsewhere in England and Wales is an adversarial experience. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of opportunity for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For example, the seller, property agent and on occasion your lender. Selecting a lawyer for your conveyancing in Stoke Newington is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the SOLE party in the process whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a potential adversary may try and convince you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the property agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your lawyer is wrong. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do take action that is against your solicitors advice. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Stoke Newington from the perspective of saving time on the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Stoke Newington can be avoided where you get in touch lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Stoke Newington state that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. If you fail to have the consents in place do not contact the landlord without contacting your solicitor in the first instance. If you have had any disputes with your landlord or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a property where there is a current dispute. You may need to swallow your pride and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to reveal the dispute as historic rather than ongoing. A minority of Stoke Newington leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. Many landlords or Management Companies in Stoke Newington charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the fee that they propose to charge. The management information sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most common cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Stoke Newington.
I am the leaseholder of a a ground floor purpose built flat in Stoke Newington. In the absence of agreement between myself and the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the premium due for a lease extension?
if there is a absentee landlord or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to judgment on the price payable.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Stoke Newington property is Lower Flat 16A Beatty Road in September 2012. The premium payable was £13,577. The terms of the lease has been agreed between the Applicants and the First Respondent and the Tribunal did not seek to disturb that agreement. This case affected 1 flat.
My solicitors in Stoke Newington have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. To assist with my purchase I took out a mortgage with the bank. Is it case that being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?
Different lenders have different requirements but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the bank Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the bank directly.
