I hired a high street lawyer for my conveyancing in Plaistow yesterday. Going through the official terms of business I notewe are responsible for fees even if our purchase doesn't happen. Would I be best advised to choose an internet conveyancing brokerage who offer no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Plaistow?

Generally there is a compromise along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the fee levels will tend to be be more expensive to neutralise those cases that abort. You should be mindful that these promotions generally do not cover expenditure such as Plaistow conveyancing search fees.

Do the Building Society Association intend to launch a online directory to to identify solicitors on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel for example in Plaistow?

Lexsure has not been advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a search facility.

I understand that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to take this when buying a property in Plaistow? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that means some house owners living in a parish church boundary will be compelled to pay for maintenance towards the chancel within the church. Is this relevant for conveyancing in Plaistow?

Unless a previous acquisition of the premises took place after 12 October 2013 you may expect conveyancing practitioners handling conveyancing in Plaistow to remain recommending a chancel search and or chancel repair liability insurance.

Last September I purchased a leasehold property in Plaistow. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?

In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such issues? Can you recommend a Plaistow conveyancing firm to help?

if there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to calculate the amount due.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Plaistow property is Ravensbourne Lodge 4 Highland Road in February 2013. the Tribunal held that the amount payable for the freehold was £22,268
