I am getting a offer of a home loan from Halifax. My intention is to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Waltham Abbey. Does the Halifax Solicitor panel allow for Licensed Conveyancers?
The Halifax conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, represented by the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Can I use your services to recommend a Conveyancing solicitor in Waltham Abbey even where I’m not purchasing or disposing of a house, for example if I intend to acquire a shop in Waltham Abbey with a loan from Barclays ?
The service is predominantly there to help choose residential conveyancing solicitors in Waltham Abbey but we have set out at the bottom of this page a few Waltham Abbey commercial conveyancing firms. You should make contact with the company directly to see if they are also authorised to represent Barclays
My wife and I are selling our home in Waltham Abbey and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. A local lawyer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a factory type conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Waltham Abbey. Having lived in Waltham Abbey for three years we know that this is a non issue. Should we contact our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You should 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 health insurance to cover that same sickness)
I am buying a new build apartment in Waltham Abbey. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Waltham Abbey
-
If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please supply a car parking plan. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?
Given that I am about to part with hundreds of thousands of pounds on a house in Waltham Abbey I wish to talk to a conveyancer regarding theconveyancing ahead of appointing the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?
This is something that we recommend - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer who will be doing your conveyancing in Waltham Abbey.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - every client is unique individual, not a case number. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Waltham Abbey should be the amount on the final invoice that you are charged.
Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on our sale of a £250,000 garden flat in Waltham Abbey next Monday. The freeholder has quoted £336 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and 3 years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Waltham Abbey?
Waltham Abbey conveyancing on leasehold flats often necessitates the purchaser’s conveyancer sending questions for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address these enquiries most will be willing to assist. They may levy a reasonable charge for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some transactions it is above £800. The administration charge invoiced by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of rights and obligations in relation to administration fees, otherwise the charge is not strictly payable. Reality however dictates that one has no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you if you want to sell the property.
I own a ground floor flat in Waltham Abbey. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the amount due for the purchase of the freehold?
Absolutely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Waltham Abbey conveyancing firm who can help.
