I am downsizing from our property in Twickenham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Twickenham conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Twickenham. Having lived in Twickenham for three years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must check with 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I am buying a new build flat in Twickenham. 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 conveyancing.
Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Twickenham
-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. 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.
As co-executor for the will of my uncle I am selling a house in Swansea but I am based in Twickenham. My lawyer (approximately 235 kilometers awayhas requested that I sign a statutory declaration before the transaction finalising. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Twickenham to witness this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you should not be required to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are based in Twickenham
I only have 72 years unexpired on my flat in Twickenham. I now wish to extend my lease but my freeholder is missing. What should I do?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, 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 extended by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have made all reasonable attempts to find the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent would be helpful to conduct investigations and to produce a report which can be used as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering Twickenham.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such issues? Can you recommend a Twickenham conveyancing firm to assist?
if there is a absentee landlord or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to arrive at the sum to be paid.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Twickenham residence is Ground Floor Flat 91 Bath Road in May 2009. in a case where the freeholder could not be traced, the Brentford County Court ordered that the Lease be surrendered in return for the grant of a new lease of the Premises at a premium determined by the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal. The tribunal concluded that the price payable by the Applicant for the new lease of the premises be £15,900 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 60.45 years.
My fiance and I are hoping to buy a three bedroom housein Twickenham with a loan from a bank. We have selected a conveyancer in Twickenham however our bank advise he's not on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose from the our bank panel firms or keep our Twickenham solicitor and incur the extra costs for one of their panel ones to represent our mortgage company. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The bank mortgage offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that solicitors will on the lender's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Twickenham : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
