I have just started taking steps with the intention of porting my existing standard home loan to a Buy to Let Alliance & Leicester mortgage. The bank has said that I require a conveyancer as part of the process. I spoke to my past Ealing conveyancing firm who dealt with the legals when I first bought the premises. The costs illustration issued of just over five hundred pounds has surprised me as I am not require purchase conveyancing - it’s simply a straightforward remortgage.

Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Ealing , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Ealing conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the registration is concluded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Ealing registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore post completion formalities is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am buying a new build house in Ealing with a loan from Chelsea Building Society. The developers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The sale representative told me not disclose to my solicitor about this deal as it could adversely affect my loan with Chelsea Building Society. Is this normal?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer 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.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Ealing. Conveyancing and Chelsea Building Society mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing practitioner in Ealing who acted for me is not around. What should I do?
First contact the Land Registry to make sure that this person is indeed the new freeholder. There is no need to incur the fees of a Ealing conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for £3. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can a leaseholder apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Ealing conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Ealing flat is Flat 4 38 The Mall in April 2014. the Tribunal held that the premium payable for the lease extension to be £25,451 This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired term was 68.7 years.
