Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Stoke Newington

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would prefer to instruct a Stoke Newington based conveyancing firm?

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

    Are pets allowed in the flat?

Having spent years of dialogue we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Stoke Newington. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

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 LVT to decide the premium.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Stoke Newington residence 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.

Our conveyancing solicitor in Stoke Newington has informed me that he requires personal identification documents stating that this forms part of his legal duty as a solicitor on the bank Solicitor panel. Can you confirm whether this is the case?

Due to Money Laundering Regulations your conveyancing lawyer is duty bound to confirm positively your identification when entering into a business relationship with you. It is a criminal offence if your lawyer not do this. If you do not provide ID early in the transaction the solicitor must refuse to act for you. It’s unlikely a lawyer will turn you away if you come to the first meeting without relevant ID but you will have to produce it at some point so you might as well bring it with you to the initial meeting so the lawyer can tick the ID verification box and start sorting out the conveyancing straight away. If you are getting a mortgage, your lawyer also has to check ID documents to satisfy the bank. This is not unique to conveyancing in Stoke Newington
