I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Stoke Newington in advance of appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor advised that some mortgage companies may not give a mortgage on this type of premises.

It varies from the lender to lender. Santander has different instructions for example to Halifax. If you e-mail us we can check via the appropriate bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Stoke Newington. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Stoke Newington especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Stoke Newington.

We expect to complete our sale of a £150,000 flat in Stoke Newington next week. The freeholder has quoted £348 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Stoke Newington?

Stoke Newington conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes normally involves fees being raised by managing agents :

Addressing pre-exchange enquiries Where consent is required before sale in Stoke Newington Copies of the building insurance and schedule Deeds of covenant upon sale Registering of the assignment of the change of lessee after a sale

Your lawyer will have no control over the level of the charges for this information but the average costs for the information for Stoke Newington leasehold property is £350. For Stoke Newington conveyancing transactions it is customary for the seller to pay for these costs. The landlord or their agents are under no legal obligation to answer such questions most will be willing to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices where the fees bear little relation to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to provide answers.

I own a a ground floor purpose built flat in Stoke Newington. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum due for the purchase of the freehold?

Where there is a missing landlord or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to calculate the price.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Stoke Newington residence is Lower Flat 16A Beatty Road in September 2012. The premium payable was £13,577. The terms of the lease has been agreed between the Applicants and the First Respondent and the Tribunal did not seek to disturb that agreement. This case was in relation to 1 flat.

Do I stop the direct debit for my mortgage with Kent Reliance as soon as a completion date for my home sale in Stoke Newington has been agreed?

No, you must continue meeting any mortgage sums to Kent Reliance pending the mortgage being discharged on completion as part of your Stoke Newington conveyancing.
