I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Wapping off the council. I have a mortgage offer with Barclays. Conveyancing is new to me. 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 Barclays, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Barclays conveyancing panel.

After what feels like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Wapping agreed to, but there is a chain. The vendors have offered on a flat, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other flats in the pipeline. I have chosen a local conveyancing solicitor in Wapping. What should be my next step? At what point should I apply for the mortgage with Leeds Building Society?

It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Wapping conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to check that your solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society approved list. Regarding the subsequent steps this very much dictated by the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market many purchasers will apply for a home loan with Leeds Building Society and pay for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Wapping.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Wapping. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Wapping

    There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply a car parking plan. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared.

Can I establish who is the owner of a property in Wapping?

Provided the property is registered with the Land Registry, and you have enough details of the address of the premises, you should be able to see details from the the Land Registry of the recorded proprietor for a a minimal charge.
