Why do I have to pay up front for conveyancing in Ilford?

If you are buying a property in Ilford your lawyer will request that you put them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. If any down payment is payable against the total price then this should be asked for shortly in advance of exchange of contracts. The final balance that is due should be sent to your lawyer shortly before completion.

I have justbeen informed that Arc property Solicitors have been shut down. They conducted my conveyancing in Ilford for a purchase of a leasehold flat 10 months ago. How can I establish that the property is registered correctly in the name of the former proprietor?

The quickest way to see if the property is in your name, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Ilford conveyancing specialists.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
