I am planning to move home in February. Should my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Greenford. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across this website.
On the day of completion you will need to pick up the keys from your estate agent but this should only happen when the previous owners lawyers inform the agent that the monies to complete are in and the keys can be collected. After that you can advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. We are not in a position to recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Greenford or a solicitor with expertise in conveyancing in Greenford.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Greenford. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Services Team at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
Will our conveyancer be raising enquiries about flooding during the conveyancing in Greenford.
The risk of flooding is if increasing concern for lawyers specialising in conveyancing in Greenford. Plenty of people will purchase a house in Greenford, fully expectant that at some time, it may be flooded. However, aside from the physical damage, if a house is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, satisfactory building insurance, or sell the property. Steps can be carried out as part of the conveyancing process to forewarn the buyer.
Conveyancers are not qualified to impart advice on flood risk, however there are a numerous checks that may be undertaken by the buyer or by their lawyers which can give them a better understanding of the risks in Greenford. The standard property information forms given to a buyer’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) incorporates a usual question of the owner to find out whether the premises has ever been flooded. If the property has been flooded in past which is not notified by the vendor, then a buyer may commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate answer. The buyer’s solicitors should also carry out an environmental search. This will reveal if there is any known flood risk. If so, additional inquiries should be carried out.
I have a 4 bedroom Victorian house in Greenford. Conveyancing practitioner represented me and Bank of Ireland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should review the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Greenford and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also check the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
How does conveyancing in Greenford differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Greenford come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is ready to move into. This is because developers in Greenford tend to purchase the real estate, 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 property lawyers 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 Greenford or who has acted in the same development.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can one apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Greenford conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
in cases where there is a missing landlord or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to make a decision on the price.
An example of a lease Extension case for a Greenford flat is 25 Beechwood Avenue in November 2012. the Tribunal accordingly determined that the premium for the lease extension should be £24,353. This case was in relation to 1 flat. The remaining number of years on the lease was 58.19 years.
