five months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Feltham took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
How does conveyancing in Feltham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Feltham approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in Feltham tend to acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Feltham or who has acted in the same development.
Due to the advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Feltham before appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor advised that some banks will refuse to grant a mortgage on a flying freehold premises.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, yet the estate agent informed us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint the agent's chosen lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer who is accustomed to conveyancing in Feltham
It is unlikely the vendors are behind this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are genuine buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you are going to appoint your own,trusted Feltham conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by head office.
I only have Seventy years unexpired on my lease in Feltham. I am keen to get lease extension but my freeholder is can not be found. What should I do?
On the basis that you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the magistrate. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to find the freeholder. In some cases a specialist would be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare a report which can be accepted by the court as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor in relation to devolving into the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering Feltham.
