I have todaybeen informed that Action Conveyancing have closed. They carried out my conveyancing in Becontree Heath for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I be sure that the property is registered correctly in the name of the previous owner?

The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, you can carry out a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Becontree Heath conveyancing specialists.

The estate agent has sent us the confirmation of our purchase of a new build apartment in Becontree Heath. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Becontree Heath

The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Becontree Heath is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Becontree Heath are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Becontree Heath you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Becontree Heath may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

Should I use a Becontree Heath conveyancing practitioner in close proximity to the house I am purchasing? An old friend can conduct the legal formalities but his firm is located 200kilometers away.

The benefit of a local Becontree Heath conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to execute paperwork, hand in your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Becontree Heath know how is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If you know people who used your friend and they were content that must surpass using an unfamiliar Becontree Heath conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being Becontree Heath based.
