I am in need of a conveyancer. Should I go for for an internet conveyancer or a high street Tulse Hill conveyancing solicitor?
Tulse Hill is a unique place, where neighbourhood knowledge is a significant benefit. The relaxed pace of life has it’s attractions – but not for your conveyancing. The property lawyers that we recommend providing vast Tulse Hill know how with a proactive, hands-onapproach that helps everything runs smoothly.

My wife and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Tulse Hill and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Tulse Hill conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Tulse Hill. We have lived in Tulse Hill for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Do we contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have justdiscovered that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Tulse Hill for a purchase of a freehold house 12 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Tulse Hill conveyancing specialists.
I opted to have a survey completed on a house in Tulse Hill ahead of retaining lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to grant a loan on this type of house.
It depends who your proposed lender is. Bank of Scotland has different instructions for example to Halifax. Should you wish to call us we can look into this further via the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Tulse Hill. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Tulse Hill to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Tulse Hill conveyancing firm to represent me?
Where there is a missing landlord or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to assess the amount due.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Tulse Hill premises is 8 Deerbrook Road in May 2010. the Tribunal held that the enfranchisement price, in accordance with section 32 and Schedule 6 of the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 was £22,820, payable by the Applicants. By an order of the Lambeth County Court dated 17 June 2009 the case had been transferred to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal for its determination of the premium payable This case affected 3 flats.
What makes a Tulse Hill lease unacceptable for security purposes?
Leasehold conveyancing in Tulse Hill is not unique. All leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are missing. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts. A duty to insure the building
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. National Westminster Bank, Coventry Building Society, and Clydesdale all have express requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to pull out.
Me and my wife are selling a Tulse Hill house left to us some years ago in 2012. I have over a decades worth of conveyancing know-how and, now retired, see no reason not to undertake my own legal work. The purchaser's property lawyer has informed me that their mortgage company will not allow us to do our own conveyancing insisting the funds to be transferred to a solicitor's bank account.
Lending requirements to lawyers from all CML members specify that If the vendor does not have legal representation the buyer’s lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be notified so that a decision can be made as to whether or not they are prepared to proceed.
