Have completed on a a terraced house in West Croydon , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My West Croydon conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in West Croydon registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration is effected once the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am buying a new build house in West Croydon with a mortgage from Nationwide Building Society. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not disclose to my lawyer about this deal as it will affect my mortgage with Nationwide Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the UK Finance website. UK Finance form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one round the corner in West Croydon I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in West Croydon for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our West Croydon basement flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a West Croydon conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
Some leases for properties in West Croydon do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience suggests that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.
My wife and I have hit a brick wall in trying to purchase the freehold in West Croydon. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
Where there is a missing 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 First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to make a decision on the amount due.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a West Croydon residence is 29 Woodstock Road in April 2014. the Tribunal determined that the premiums to be paid into court in respect of the purchase of the freehold registered at HMLR under Title N0.SY3997 should be £7,217. This case was in relation to 4 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 98 years.
Midway through the sale of a leasehold flat in West Croydon. Conveyancing lawyers are doing their job but we have been asked to pay an extortionate amount from the freeholder. To date we have paid £295.50 for a leasehold management information and then a further £200 plus VAT for responses to questions supplied by the buyers conveyancer.
Neither you or your lawyer will have any impact over the level of the charges for this information however the average costs for the information for West Croydon leasehold property is £350. When it comes to West Croydon conveyancing transactions it is standard for the vendor to pay for these charges. The freeholder or their agents are not duty bound to address such questions although many will be content to do so - albeit often at high prices out of proportion to the work involved. Regretfully there is no law that mandates fixed fees for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time limit by which they are required to supply the information.
