We have very pushy sellers who has insisted on a preliminary contract with a deposit of 5k. Are such arrangements promoted for Walthamstow conveyancing transactions?

This type of contract is not the norm in Walthamstow, conveyancers are not keen on them as they detract from the main conveyancing focus and if you end up losing your deposit then the lawyer at best left with an upset client and at worst a litigious one. In addition, there is no certainty that just because the proprietor has executed an exclusivity agreement they will complete the sale with you. They may be in contravention of the contract if they are offered sufficient incentive to do so because a wronged purchaser with the benefit of a exclusivity agreement will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not compare to the financial benefit that your vendor may gain by breaching the contract, however morally reprehensible that may be.

I have todayfound out that Stirling Law have closed. They conducted my conveyancing in Walthamstow for a purchase of a leasehold apartment 12 months ago. How can I establish that my home is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The easiest way to see if the premises is registered to you, you can carry out 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 Walthamstow conveyancing specialists.

How does conveyancing in Walthamstow differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Walthamstow come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Walthamstow usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Walthamstow or who has acted in the same development.

I am the proprietor of a second floor flat in Walthamstow. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the sum due for the purchase of the freehold?

Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a Walthamstow conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Walthamstow flat is 12 Nutfield Road in July 2014. the Tribunal judged that the price to be paid by the applicants for the freehold interest should be £19,572 This case related to 2 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 72.02 years.

Are there common problems that you come across in leases for Walthamstow properties?

Leasehold conveyancing in Walthamstow is not unique. Most leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain sections are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage

A defective lease can cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Yorkshire Building Society, Leeds Building Society, and Britannia 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, forcing the purchaser to pull out.

I am contemplating using an online lawyer as opposed to a Walthamstow conveyancing practice. Should I ‘stay local’?

Various benefits exist in being able to attend a local Walthamstow conveyancing solicitor for example

  • signing documents and and when necessary
  • sometimes being able to speak to someone face-to-face can make a huge difference, particularly for more complex transactions
  • the ability to raise concerns if things are not going as expected

When analysing estimates, look carefully for hidden extras. Most decent Walthamstow high street solicitors give an all-inclusive price. Often online agents seem to offer cheap prices, yet have hidden 'extras' in the small print.
