I am helping my mother sell her house in Bethnal Green. Does the conveyancer order the EPC or it is for the seller to coordinate?
After the abolition of Home Packs, energy assessments was left as a required component of selling a property. An EPC should be to hand in advance of the property being marketed. This is not a task that law firms normally organise. If you are using a Bethnal Green conveyancing practitioner they might be able to arrange energy assessments due to their relationships with long established local accredited person
We are purchasing a victorian detached house in Bethnal Green. We would like to convert the garage to an office at the house.Will legal conveyancing on the property include enquiries to ascertain if these works are prohibited?
Your conveyancer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Bethnal Green will occasionally identify restrictions in the title documents which prevent categories of works or require the consent of another owner. Many works require local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. It would be wise to check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
My sealed bid on a house in Bethnal Green has been agreed to, the sellers do however have a tied purchase. The sellers have offered on on an apartment, but it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other properties booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Bethnal Green. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Barclays started?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Bethnal Green conveyancing search costs, etc). The first thing to do is check that your lawyer is on the Barclays approved list. Regarding the subsequent phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Barclays and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they pay their property lawyer to proceed with searches.
I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Bethnal Green and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built on contaminated land. A high street Bethnal Green lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a factory type conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Bethnal Green. Having lived in Bethnal Green for 4 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with 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)
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Bethnal Green I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Bethnal Green in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent has warned us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use their recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Bethnal Green
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to use your preferred Bethnal Green conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthe ones that will provide the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by corporate headquarters.
