I am obtaining a offer of a home loan from Lloyds. My intention is to enlist the help of a Licensed Conveyancer in Rotherhithe. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel include Licensed Conveyancers?

The Lloyds approved solicitor list is, like many other lenders, associated to the CML or BSA, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the CLC.

In the event thatI were to buy a simple residential homein Rotherhithe mortgage fee and have no survey and no conveyancing searches how much should I expect to to save on my conveyancing in Rotherhithe?

The only reduction in fees you would achieve is the disbursement for searches. The conveyancing practitioner is obliged to do the vast majority of work - money laundering, correspond with the vendors lawyer, SDLT return, register the ownership etc. You might save a bit for them not needing to register a charge however it will not be meaningful.

I have been told that property searches are a common reason for obstruction in Rotherhithe house deals. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released conclusions of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature within the common causes of hindrances in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any delay in conveyancing in Rotherhithe.

I am downsizing from my house. My previous conveyancers have shut. I am in need of a recommendation of a conveyancing firm. Im based in Rotherhithe if that makes things easier.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Rotherhithe. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Rotherhithe - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I am the registered owner of a ground floor flat in Rotherhithe. In the absence of agreement between myself and the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the amount due for the purchase of the freehold?

Absolutely. We can put you in touch with a Rotherhithe conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Rotherhithe residence is 12, 14 & 16 Hull Close in May 2010. the Tribunal determined that the premium payable for the acquisition of the freehold to the subject premises was the sum of £18,300 This case was in relation to 3 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 101.61 years.
