It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Emerson Park took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Emerson Park differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Emerson Park contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Emerson Park usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Emerson Park or who has acted in the same development.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in Emerson Park and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to affords protection to commercial tenants, granting the dueness to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two apartments in Emerson Park both have about 50 years remaining on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
There are no two ways about it. A leasehold flat in Emerson Park is a deteriorating asset as a result of the shortening lease. The nearer the lease gets to zero years unexpired, the more it reduces the salability of the premises. The majority of purchasers and lenders, leases with less than 75 years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the property for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Emerson Park conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. They may agree to a smaller lump sum and an increase in the ground rent, but to shorter extension terms in return. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
Following months of correspondence we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Emerson Park. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Absolutely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Emerson Park conveyancing firm who can help.

My husband and I have agreed a price on a Emerson Park ground floor flat we inherited seven years ago in 2009. I have over ten years conveyancing knowledge and, now retired, wish to conduct my own conveyancing. The purchaser's lawyer has informed me that their mortgage company will not allow you to do your own conveyancing as they require the funds to be sent to a solicitor's bank account.
Mortgage instructions to conveyancers from all CML members state that If the seller does not have legal representation the purchaser’s lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be informed so that a decision can be made if they are prepared to proceed.
