Please could you recommend a Birmingham Midshires allowed Walthamstow conveyancing practice finish our home move within 28 days? Would it be better to use a local Walthamstow solicitor or a web based firm?

I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our house in Walthamstow and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. A high street Walthamstow lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers instructed a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Walthamstow. Having lived in Walthamstow for three years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification need.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm currently acting for you. What do they say? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)

How does conveyancing in Walthamstow differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Walthamstow contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because house builders in Walthamstow tend to buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Walthamstow or who has acted in the same development.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold house in Walthamstow. Conveyancing and Clydesdale mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing solicitor in Walthamstow who acted for me is not around. Any advice?

The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. It is not necessary to incur the fees of a Walthamstow conveyancing solicitor to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.

I am the registered owner of a garden flat in Walthamstow. In the absence of agreement between myself and the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum due for the purchase of the freehold?

in cases where there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the LVT to decide the sum to be paid.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Walthamstow flat is 12 Nutfield Road in July 2014. the Tribunal judged that the price to be paid by the applicants for the freehold interest should be £19,572 This case related to 2 flats. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 72.02 years.

There are a number of houses in Walthamstow on private roads. We are buying one such property. What are the pros and cons of buying a residence on a privately owned road?

Walthamstow conveyancing lawyers will be familiar with conveyancing houseson private. The conveyancing practitioner should review the title to find any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a residents association that owners make annual contributions for the upkeep of the road. Where there is one, the road will likely be maintained and appear better than publicly adopted.
