My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Tokyngton. I need to find out if they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Can you assist?
The first thing you should do is e-mail your conveyancer and enquire whether they can act for the bank. Alternatively please call Virgin Money who may be able to confirm.
It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Tokyngton completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 residence 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.
I am buying a new build apartment in Tokyngton. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build legal work.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Tokyngton
-
Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? 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. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Tokyngton is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Tokyngton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Tokyngton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Tokyngton may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
We are 17 days into a residential purchase having been directed to a firm by the local agent to execute conveyancing in Tokyngton. I am am extremely disappointed with the quality of service. Could you you assist me in finding new lawyers?
They would need to be really poor in order to consider changing them. Has the loan offer been issued? In the event that it has you must make them aware of the new contact details and have the offer are issued to the new lawyers. Your new solicitor ideally needs to be on the mortgage company approved list to avoid added fees and delays. So that should be your starting point.

We expect to complete the disposal of our £150,000 apartment in Tokyngton next week. The landlords agents has quoted £372 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and previous years service charge statements. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Tokyngton?
Tokyngton conveyancing on leasehold apartments normally necessitates the buyer’s lawyer sending questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer these enquiries the majority will be content to do so. They are at liberty to charge a reasonable administration fee for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average costs for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it is in excess of £800. The management information fee levied by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration fees, without which the charge is not strictly payable. In reality you have no option but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to exchange contracts with the buyer.
Following months of negotiations we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Tokyngton. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
