Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Worcester Park

I am helping my niece sell her house in Worcester Park. Will the conveyancer order the energy performance certificate or it is for me to coordinate?

After the demise of Home Packs, energy performance certificates was maintained a required component of moving house. An EPC needs to be to hand before the property is marketed. This is not something that lawyers normally arrange. If you are instructing a Worcester Park conveyancing practitioner they may help arrange energy performance certificates given their relationships with long established local providers

We have agreed to purchase a house in Worcester Park. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Santander have issued a mortgage offer so presumably this is not a concern to them. Why is my solicitor raising questions about the panel?

As you are obtaining a mortgage with Santander your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements contained in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Santander. The CML Handbook sets out minimum provisions for solar panel roof-space leases, and lawyers are required to report to Santander where a lease does not satisfy these specifications. The conditions relate to the installation of panels on properties in England and Wales and is not isolated to Worcester Park.

My offer was accepted on a house in Worcester Park on 19/8/2025, valuation was booked 4 days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor instructed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Kent Reliance and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Are Kent Reliance entitled to hold back the Mortgage pending the lawyer being on the approved list?

A lender would not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Kent Reliance to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

My partner and I are downsizing from our home in Worcester Park and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Worcester Park conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an online conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Worcester Park. We have lived in Worcester Park for many years we know of no issue. Do we contact our local Authority to obtain clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Worcester Park concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 residence 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.

How does conveyancing in Worcester Park differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Worcester Park contact us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Worcester Park usually acquire the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Worcester Park or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Worcester Park I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Worcester Park 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 home loan that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Having spent years of dialogue we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Worcester Park. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?

You certainly can. We are happy to put you in touch with a Worcester Park conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Worcester Park flat is 33 The Maisonettes Alberta Avenue in June 2014. the Tribunal decided that the premium payable for the grant of a new lease be the sum of £20,680 (Twenty Thousand six hundred and eighty pounds). This case related to 1 flat. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 60.43 years.

What makes a Worcester Park lease defective?

Leasehold conveyancing in Worcester Park is not unique. All leases are unique and drafting errors can result in certain clauses are erroneous. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:

    Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts.

You could have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. Lloyds TSB Bank, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, and Godiva Mortgages Ltd all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease is problematic they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
