As someone not used to conveyancing in Wapping what’s your top tip you can give me for the legal transfer of property in Wapping
Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Wapping or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there exists lots of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. E.g., the seller, property agent and even potentially your lender. Choosing a law firm for your conveyancing in Wapping is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY person in the process whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.
Every so often a third party with a vested interest may attempt to persuade you that you should follow their advice. For instance, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by suggesting your conveyancer is dragging his heels. Or your mortgage broker may try to convince you to do something that is contrary to your lawyers recommendation. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties when it comes to the legal transfer of property.

I recently had an offer agreed on an apartment in Wapping. My financial adviser suggested a lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £150. Soon after, the lawyer contacted me sheepishly admitting that they were not on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Lloyds panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I have recently realised that I have 68 years unexpired on my lease in Wapping. I need to get lease extension but my freeholder is missing. What are my options?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be extended by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have done all that could be expected to find the freeholder. For most situations an enquiry agent should be helpful to conduct investigations and to produce a report which can be used as evidence that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer in relation to proving the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Wapping.
