My fiance’s brother is a conveyancer. I expect that I'll be able to get preferential rates for conveyancing, but if not, what kind of figure should I be paying for conveyancing in Warlingham?
Do compare pricing. Do use our search tool on this site. The estimates will contrast greatly but the service one can expect are distinct between solicitors as is the case with most professions.
Last September we completed a house move in Warlingham. We have noticed several issues with the property which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted as part of conveyancing in Warlingham?
The question is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are relate to conveyancing in Warlingham. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are carried out to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller answers a questionnaire called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information ends up being misleading, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the vendor for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Warlingham.
3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Warlingham concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am looking for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Warlingham I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Warlingham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
I own a leasehold flat in Warlingham. Conveyancing and Platform Home Loans Ltd mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing solicitor in Warlingham who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Warlingham conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
Following years of correspondence we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Warlingham. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Where there is a absentee landlord or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the LVT to arrive at the price payable.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Warlingham property is The Woodlands 95 Purley Park Road in April 2009. The Tribunals own valuation produced the figure of £37,912. This case related to 6 flats. The unexpired lease term was 78.32 years.
My partner is purchasing a basement flat in Warlingham. He has received an estimate by the property lawyer suggested by the selling agents totaling £1156 . It was eight years ago I sold and bought a property and it cost was £600. Have costs really gone up that much?
What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for example Warlingham searches, land registry fees, etc)
