In scouring online forums for a recommended lawyer in Thame, most comment that I should use a CQS accredited lawyer. Can you explain what CQS is?
The Conveyancing Quality Scheme (CQS) provides a kitemark for residential conveyancing practices issued by the Law Society. Membership achievement establishes a level of credibility for member firms with stakeholders (regulators, lenders, insurers and consumers) based upon: * the integrity of the senior responsible officer and other key conveyancing staff * the firm's adherence to good practice management standards * compliance with prudent and efficient conveyancing procedures through the scheme protocol the standard includes numerous organisations who handle conveyancing in Thame.
It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Thame took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Thame

There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? 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.

I have recently realised that I have 62 years remaining on my lease in Thame. I now want to get lease extension but my freeholder is absent. What are my options?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to prove that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to locate the landlord. In some cases an enquiry agent should be useful to try and locate and prepare a report to be used as evidence that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor in relation to devolving into the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court overseeing Thame.

Please note if it is no more than eighty years it will impact the value of the property. Check with your mortgage company that they are content with the length of the lease. A short lease means that you will most likely need a lease extension sooner rather than later and it is worth finding out what this will be. For most Thamelease extensions you would be be obliged to have been the owner of the property for a couple of years before you are eligible to exercise a lease extension. In the main the outlay for major works tend not to be incorporated into the service charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Thame ask leaseholders to contribute towards a reserve fund and this is used to offset against major repairs or maintenance. How many of the leaseholders are in arrears for their maintenance charge payments?
