Why is leasehold purchase conveyancing in Streatham is more expensive?
Streatham leasehold conveyancing transactions usually involve additional investigations than freeholds including investigating the Lease, liaising with the Landlord such as serving relevant notices on the Landlord or managing agent, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining Landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts and formation documents.
We are getting a further advance on our home loan from Clydesdale as we want to carry out improvements to our home in Streatham. Do we need to choose a nearby Streatham solicitor on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel to deal with the paperwork?
Clydesdale would not normally appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Clydesdale panel.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Streatham conveyancing solicitors are chosen. How long does it take for Leeds Building Society to forward the offer to the lawyer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Leeds Building Society conducted the valuation? Have you informed Leeds Building Society as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by TSB. Is it usual for TSB to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Streatham is approved on their conveyancing panel? TSB have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for TSB to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the TSB conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
The deeds to our house are lost. The solicitors who did the conveyancing in Streatham 4 years ago no longer exist. What are my next steps?
These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your conveyancer should be aware precisely where to look for all the relevant paperwork so you can purchase or dispose of your house without a hitch. Where copies are not available, your conveyancer may be able to put in place insurance or indemnities against possible claims on your premises.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Streatham I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Streatham in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
