I am due to complete on the purchase of a house in Beckton but as a consequence of wreckage from some water damage at the property I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner of £3k taking the form of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however Coventry BS are not allowing this. Should they have been involved?
Any property lawyer being on a Coventry BS approved list is duty bound to disclose to Coventry BS of any variations to the sale price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to notify the price change to Coventry BS then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Coventry BS and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Beckton.
Just acquired a detached house in Beckton , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Beckton conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Beckton is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so post completion formalities is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am looking for a flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Beckton I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Beckton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

My cousin is purchasing a ground floor flat in Beckton. He was given a quote by the conveyancer connected to the selling agents and it came to £1245 . It was fifteen years ago since I sold and purchased a property and the bill was £just under six hundred pounds. Have fees really gone up that much?
What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for example Beckton searches, land registry fees, etc)
