We are about to sign contracts for a garden flat in Bedfont. We encountered a problem. The loan offer with Aldermore expires on 16/3/2026 but the sellers are suggesting a completion date of 18/3/2026. Is it possible to extend the loan offer?
The person best placed to address this issue is your conveyancer who will hopefully calculate whether he or she is better off negotiating with the bank, vendor’s conveyancers, property agents or conceivably all three based on what has gone on in your house move to date.
We are purchasing a victorian detached house in Bedfont. Our aim is to carry out a loft conversion at the house.Will legal investigations on the property include investigations to see if these alterations are allowed?
Your conveyancer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Bedfont will on occasion identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict certain works or need the consent of another owner. Certain works require local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Many areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. You should check these things with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.
Two weeks ago we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Leeds Building Society. Bedfont conveyancing lawyers are instructed. How long does it take for Leeds Building Society to issue the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Leeds Building Society done the valuation? Have you advised Leeds Building Society as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in September 2007, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's lender, Co-operative are being problematic. The Bedfont solicitor who is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Co-operative are insisting on a building regulation certificate. Why do Co-operative have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Co-operative have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Co-operative may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.
Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Bedfont , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Bedfont conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Bedfont is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs once the new owner is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not always an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such matters? Can you recommend a Bedfont conveyancing firm to assist?
Where there is a missing landlord or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to determine the premium.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Bedfont property is 147 Redford Close in June 2012. The Tribunal determined the lease extension premium to be at £4,200 This case related to 1 flat. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 82.93 years.
In relation to leasehold conveyancing in Bedfont what are the most common lease problems?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Bedfont. All leases are unique and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain provisions are erroneous. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the building Insurance obligations
A defective lease can cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Santander, Chelsea Building Society, and Britannia all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to withdraw.

When it comes to conveyancing in Bedfont the costs are unlikely to vary dramatically depending on whether the legal expert is a licenced conveyancer or solicitor.
