Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Barnehurst is more expensive?
The conveyancing costs for a leasehold premises in Barnehurst is inevitably higher when contrasted to a freehold acquisition or disposal. This is due to the additional time necessary in communicating with the freeholder and management company to collate the evidence about whether the rent and service charges have been paid and whether there are any large sums expected to be spent in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the block.

A colleague informed me that in buying a property in Barnehurst there may be a number of restrictions affecting the ability to carry out external changes to the property. Is this right?
We are aware of a number of properties in Barnehurst which have some sort of restriction or requirement of consent to carry out external changes. Part of the conveyancing in Barnehurst should determine what restrictions are applicable and advising you as part of a ROT that should be sent to you.
is it true that all Barnehurst solicitor firms on the Lloyds conveyancing panel are governed by the SRA?
As solicitors, in order to be on the Lloyds conveyancing panel they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Some banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be overseen by the CLC.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Barnehurst. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
All banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR who will take matters further.
I am buying a house and the solicitor has raised the issue of Chancel Repair for which the property may be liable because it falls into the area of such a church. She has mentioned insurance. Is this strictly warranted for conveyancing in Barnehurst
Unless a previous acquisition of the house took place post 12 October 2013 you may expect conveyancing practitioners conducting conveyancing in Barnehurst to remain encouraging a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Barnehurst I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Barnehurst suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
