Notice of Transfer and charge for leasehold property

11-05-2018, 20:11 PM

Hi I was wondering whether someone could assist me in answering the following. I have been gifted a flat and am going to the land registry office to transfer it next week. I know I have to transfer the ownership of the lease with the landlord but just wanted to know whether I have to use a solicitor for this or whether I can type my own. I have all the paperwork from when my son purchased the property and have a copy of the notice that was completed which I could use as a rough guide. Is it a legal requirement to use a conveyancer for this or has anyone been in a similar situation. Thank you in advance

You can in theory deal with both the freeholder and LR yourself - whether you have the skills to so do we couldn't comment.

Hi, just wanted a sounding board for a query thats come up. i am a long way down the line with buying a property and the vendor has been dilatory in providing the answers to certain enquiries raised by my solicitor. Finally today they delivered a bunch of documentation, but one thing that is still...

The seller may ask a local surveyor to issue a certificate to confirm whatever is missing or alternatively you withdraw from the purchase of the property or offer a lower price to cover the risk....

My son knowingly bought a house with a loft conversion with no BR Certificate but the house was advertised and sold as 2-bedroom only and not 3-bedroom (ie not including the loft conversion) and his intention is to get it inspected including opening up ceilings, floors and roof and adding fire doors,...

Planning permission and building control are different things. They might need planning permission, if they added windows.

Update - apparently the vendors claim that the conversion was "fully inspected" throughout the construction but they just never obtained the final certificate. They have apparently contacted the local authority to try and obtain a copy. My lawyer says its all academic now because i can't...

Would you have bought property if you were told loft space could only be used as storage, which it seems to be all it can be used for in legal terms. If so im sure you would have wanted a discount. Relative did own conversion with builder mates in a bungalow few years back as it was their forever home....

It may be possible to get the certificate retrospectively, but the difficulty with that is some of the critical items may have been hidden by later parts of the construction. Done properly, they would have been inspected before being covered up. The seller should do this.

It is worrying...

If the loft conversion has no BR certificate then 'legally' it can't be used as living accommodation, ie as a bedroom and can't be described as such. It can be used for recreation, work, storage, etc. That may affect its valuation and usefulness to you.
I'd be pressing the vendor for a BR assessment...

Hi folks,

I intend to purchase my next property at auction. Looking over the legal pack, most of the contract is pretty straightforward and I'm sure the parts I'm unclear on are straightforward to some of the more seasoned veterans on this forum.

Below therefore are one or...
