We decided to go with a Walthamstow Village based lawyer for our conveyancing in Walthamstow Village yesterday. Reviewing the official terms of business it is apparent thatwe are liable for costs even if the sale doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and instruct an on-line solicitor practice who offer no completion no charge conveyancing in Walthamstow Village?
It is usually ‘give and take’ in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to cover those conveyances that do not proceed. Do bear in mind that these deals generally do not protect you from expenditure such as Walthamstow Village conveyancing search charges.
I am acquiring a newly built flat in Walthamstow Village and my conveyancer is informing me that she has to the bank to reveal incentives from the builder. The Estate Agents are hassling me to exchange and I have no desire to delay matters. Is my lawyer right?
You should not exchange unless you have been advised to do so by your property lawyer. A precondition to being on a bank panel is to comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook conditions. The CML Conveyancing Handbook requires that your lawyer have the appropriate Disclosure of Incentive form completed by the developer and accepted by your lender.
Completed the sale of my flat in Walthamstow Village last May but the buyer keeps Skype messaging daily to say their solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?
Following your disposal your solicitor should forward the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Where relevant, your conveyancer should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the purchasers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures peculiar conveyancing in Walthamstow Village.
I have been told by my lawyer that flying freehold insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the level of cover for Walthamstow Village conveyancing?
The appropriate level of flying freehold indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Halifax and Virgin Money. Conveyancing practitioners as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.
How can we tell if a Walthamstow Village conveyancing solicitor on the Bank of Ireland panel is any good?

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Walthamstow Village. I have a mortgage offer with Bank of Ireland. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Walthamstow Village is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Walthamstow Village are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Walthamstow Village you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

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 premises.
I have just started marketing my 2 bed apartment in Walthamstow Village. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, however I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
The sensible thing to do is clear the invoice as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most managing agents 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
After months of correspondence we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Walthamstow Village. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
in cases where there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the LVT to assess the price.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Walthamstow Village flat is 32 Howard Road in June 2012. the Tribunal held that premium payable for the freehold reversion should be £35,825 This case affected 2 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 64 years.
