Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that may impact a commercial estate in Camberwell?
Many commercial conveyancing solicitors in Camberwell will order a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers spend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Camberwell. The search result provides definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Camberwell.
For each commercial conveyancing transaction in Camberwell it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. Failure to identify developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately could result in delays to Camberwell commercial conveyancing deals as well as pose a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not carried out for residential conveyancing in Camberwell.

Last September I purchased a leasehold flat in Camberwell. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee 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. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure 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 own a second floor flat in Camberwell. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the amount payable for a lease extension?
Most certainly. We can put you in touch with a Camberwell conveyancing firm who can help.
