I am planning to move house in March. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. As an aside, can you put forward a removal company in Camberwell. Conveyancing solicitor was found prior to coming across this website.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from your property agent however this should only be done when the previous owners conveyancers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be passed over. Subsequently you will need to advise the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal organisation but can assist you in choosing a residential property solicitor in Camberwell or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Camberwell.
We are buying a 4 bedroom semi-detached house in Camberwell. We would like to convert the garage to a playroom at the house.Will legal investigations on the property include enquiries to see if these alterations are prohibited?
Your solicitor will check the registered title as conveyancing in Camberwell will on occasion reveal restrictions in the title deeds which restrict categories of changes or necessitated the consent of another owner. Many additions call for local authority planning permissions and approval in accordance building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or affect extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
Leeds Building Society have agreed my mortgage in principle, my offer on a flat in Camberwell has been agreed to, what happens next?
The estate agent will need to be informed of your conveyancer's details (ensure that the lawyers are on the lender’s panel). Contact Leeds Building Society or the financial adviser and finalise any appropriate forms. Leeds Building Society will appoint a valuer who will get in contact with the selling agent or seller to schedule a slot for the valuation to happen. Once carried out (assuming no problems) it takes on average ten days for the mortgage offer to be issued. Leeds Building Society will send the offer to you and your conveyancers. The transaction will then take it’s course according the nature and complexity of the conveyancing in Camberwell.
Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified as part of conveyancing in Camberwell?
Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Camberwell. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’
I'm buying a new build house in Camberwell with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead. The house builders rep told me not reveal to my solicitor about this side-deal as it will jeopardize my loan with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Camberwell I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Camberwell suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
I have just appointed agents to market my garden flat in Camberwell. Conveyancing lawyers have not yet been instructed, but I have recently received a half-yearly service charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is pay the maintenance contribution as normal given that all rents and maintenance charges will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
After months of correspondence we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Camberwell. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
You certainly can. We are happy to put you in touch with a Camberwell conveyancing firm who can help.
