Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Upper Clapton

I chose a local solicitor for our conveyancing in Upper Clapton recently. After carefully reading the Terms and Conditions I seeI am responsible for charges even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I go with them or choose an internet lawyer offering no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Upper Clapton?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Sale No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to counteract the conveyances that do not proceed. Also remember that these promotions rarely protect you from expenses e.g. Upper Clapton conveyancing search fees.

Can the conveyancing solicitors identified through your search tool execute auction conveyancing in Upper Clapton?

We know of a few niche lawyers we can put you in touch with those conducting auction conveyancing. Upper Clapton is just one of our locations in which our lawyers have offices.

It has been 2 months following my purchase conveyancing in Upper Clapton completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 property 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Upper Clapton is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Upper Clapton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Upper Clapton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Upper Clapton may decide 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 property.

I'm refinancing my current home to a BTL mortgage with Leeds Building Society and I will use the rest of the raised equity towards another house. The location we are talking about is Upper Clapton. Will your lawyers be able to act for the two mortgage companies and link together the transactions?

Do use our search tool on this page to ensure that the conveyancers are on the appropriate lender panels. Assuming that they are your conveyancer will be able to simultaneously deal with the two transactions but you should have a chat with you lawyer and make apparent your expectations and needs.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without success. Can I make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Upper Clapton conveyancing firm to assist?

if there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to assess the amount due.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Upper Clapton residence is Flat 25, Stamford Hill Mansions Stamford Hill in April 2010. The Tribunal therefore determined that the premium to be paid by the lessee to the freeholder for the extension of the lease should be £28,984.00 This case was in relation to 1 flat. The remaining number of years on the lease was 59 years.

What makes a Upper Clapton lease unacceptable for security purposes?

Leasehold conveyancing in Upper Clapton is not unique. Most leases are unique and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain provisions are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    A duty to insure the building Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the building

A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Barclays , Bank of Scotland, and TSB all have very detailed 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 grant the mortgage, obliging the purchaser to pull out.
