My wife and I have lately purchased a house in Brentford. We have noticed several issues with the house which we suspect were missed in the conveyancing searches. Is there anything we can do? What searches should? have been ordered for conveyancing in Brentford?
The query is vague as to the nature of the problems and if they are unique to conveyancing in Brentford. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are designed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, the vendor answers a questionnaire known as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information provided is misleading, you may have a misrepresentation claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Brentford.
Are the BSA planning on creating a search tool with a view to list firms on the Norwich and Peterborough Building Society conveyancing panel for example in Brentford?
We would not expect to be advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to develop such a register.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Brentford I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Brentford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

My fiance and I may need to sub-let our Brentford garden flat for a while due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Brentford conveyancing firm in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Notwithstanding that your previous Brentford conveyancing lawyer is no longer available you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are silent, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain consent via your landlord or some other party before subletting. This means you not allowed to sublet in the absence of first obtaining permission. Such consent should not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
Having spent years of dialogue we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Brentford. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Brentford conveyancing firm who can help.
