It is possible to conduct a search at the Land Registry, locate your house and secure current copies of the property title for a small fee.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Brent Cross garden flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Brent Cross conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

Some leases for properties in Brent Cross do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting permission.

I have given up trying to purchase the freehold in Brent Cross. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

in cases where there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to arrive at the price.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Brent Cross property is First Floor Flat 61 Wilberforce Road in March 2014. The premium payable was £10,130 and the case was remitted back to the Willesden County Court to effect the Vesting Order (Claim No 3W103100). This case affected 1 flat. The remaining number of years on the lease was 71 years.

What if there is a problem with one of the searches for our conveyancing in Brent Cross?

Usually, almost all issues that arise in Brent Cross conveyancing search results can be addressed in advance of completion or title insurance may be taken. You need to remember that even though you may be purchasing the premises and might be willing to live with the search results, your lender may not, and ultimately the decision rests with them.
