Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Upton Park

Will my conveyancing lawyers need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Upton Park. My lender is Chelsea Building Society

Chelsea Building Society have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 18/4/2025, the requirements read as follows :

I have been told by my conveyancer that lack of building regulations insurance is required on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Upton Park?

The appropriate level of lack of building regulations indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Barclays and Coventry Building Society. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such policies.

How can we tell if a Upton Park conveyancing solicitor on the Barclays panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Upton Park seeking recommendations is a good start. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always advise that you speak with the solicitor carrying out your conveyancing.

Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Upton Park. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?

All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR with full details of your complaint.

The deeds to our house can not be found. The conveyancers who conducted the conveyancing in Upton Park 4 years ago no longer exist. What do I do?

You no longer need to hold title official documentation to prove you own the land or property, given that the Land Registry hold details of all registered land or property electronically.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Upton Park is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Upton Park are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Upton Park you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Upton Park may determine 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 would like to rent out my leasehold flat in Upton Park. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask her. Is permission from the freeholder required?

A small minority of properties in Upton Park do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

Following months of correspondence we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Upton Park. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?

Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Upton Park conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Upton Park flat is 46 Credon Road in January 2014. On 11 September 2013 Deputy District Judge Price sitting at the Bow County Court made a vesting order that the freeholder surrender his lease and be granted a new lease of the Premises on such terms as may be determined by the First Tier Tribunal (Property Chamber).The appropriate sum as concluded by the Tribunal was £7225 This case was in relation to 1 flat. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 69.77 years.

I have just appointed agents to market my basement flat in Upton Park.Conveyancing has not commenced but I have just received a half-yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as normal given that all rents and maintenance charges should be allottedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially
