Do commercial conveyancing searches disclose planned roadworks that could impact a commercial premises in Acton?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Acton will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers invest in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Acton. The search result sets out definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Acton.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Acton it is crucial to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been addressed adequately may result in delays to Acton commercial conveyancing deals as well as present a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not carried out for residential conveyancing in Acton.

I'm buying a new build house in Acton with a loan from The Royal Bank of Scotland. The builders would not move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The estate agent suggested that I not disclose to my lawyer about the deal as it could put at risk my loan with The Royal Bank of Scotland. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Acton conveyancing firm to represent me?

Most certainly. We can put you in touch with a Acton conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Acton residence is 4 Woodhurst Road in July 2013. The Tribunals valuation for the premium to be paid in respect of the collective enfranchisement was £51,050. This case related to 2 flats. The unexpired lease term was 63.75 years.

What makes a Acton lease unmortgageable?

There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Acton. Most leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain clauses are not included. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:

    Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts. A duty to insure the building

You may encounter difficulties when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Halifax, Chelsea Building Society, and Alliance & Leicester all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the buyer to withdraw.

I have noted on a number of consumer advice websites that before selecting a conveyancing solicitors they must be approved by your mortgage company. This is my first home move but I have an AIP with HSBC and I already have a high street conveyancing solicitor in Acton at the ready. Can Virgin Money require an approved lawyer to be used? Does a directory of approved solicitors even exist for my conveyancing in Acton?

You need to use a solicitor that is on the Virgin Money panel. Just ring your chosen Acton conveyancing solicitor to check if they are on the Virgin Money panel. If they are not approved you have a number of options open to you here:

  • Complete the purchase with your existing Acton property lawyer but Virgin Money will undoubtedly use a conveyancing practitioner from their conveyancing panel. The net impact is additional cost together with probable frustration.
  • Choose a fresh conveyancer to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
  • Convince your lawyer to do everything within their powers to join the Virgin Money conveyancing panel.
