I am about to exchange on the purchase of a property in Gunnersbury but as a consequence of damage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate recompense from the vendor in the sum of three thousand pounds in the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be addressed as part of a side agreement however Virgin Money are not allowing this. Should they have been informed?
The lawyer that is on a Virgin Money conveyancing panel is required to inform Virgin Money of any changes to the purchase price. If you were to refuse your lawyer to report the reduction to Virgin Money then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Virgin Money and you would have to appoint a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Gunnersbury.
The deeds to my property are lost. The solicitors who conducted the conveyancing in Gunnersbury 4 years ago are no longer around. What do I do?
Nowadays there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor will be aware exactly where to locate all the relevant documentation so you can purchase or sell your house without a hitch. Where copies are not available, your solicitor can put in place insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your property.

All being well we will complete our sale of a £150,000 garden flat in Gunnersbury in six days. The landlords agents has quoted £348 for Landlord’s certificate, insurance certificate and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge such fees for a leasehold conveyance in Gunnersbury?
Gunnersbury conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes usually involves the buyer’s lawyer submitting enquiries for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to respond to these enquiries the majority will be content to assist. They are entitled to invoice a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average costs for the information that you are referring to is over three hundred pounds, in some situations it exceeds £800. The management information fee levied by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of rights and obligations in relation to administration charges, without which the invoice is not strictly payable. In reality you have little choice but to pay whatever is demanded if you want to exchange contracts with the buyer.

How does one as executor remove a deceased person's details from the title register for a house in Gunnersbury?
Where a Gunnersbury property is co-owned and one of the owners passes away, their name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to amend the title as in the event of a sale you would just be asked to supply proof why the joint owner is not a party to the transfer, normally this is in the form of a grant of probate.
With a view to making the sale conveyancing simpler for the sale of the property you may apply to have the deceased name erased from the title entries by applying to HM Land Registry with evidence of the death. There is no land registry fee payable.
