We're in Hammersmith, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is UBS , and our lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no solicitor should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

We previously selected conveyancers locally in Hammersmith on the Co-operative solicitor approved list. They are now charging me an additional amount for the legal aspects of the Co-operative mortgage. Is this an additional conveyancing fee set by Co-operative?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by Co-operative but by your Hammersmith solicitor. Numerous firms on the Co-operative panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

I am expecting a OIP from Lloyds this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Lloyds recommend any Hammersmith solicitors on the Lloyds conveyancing panel, or is it better to go independently?

You will need to appoint Hammersmith solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Lloyds conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Lloyds through the process.

My partner and I are in the throws of looking at flats in Hammersmith and I am about to put in an offer. Is it wise to have a property lawyer on ‘stand by’? I will be getting a mortgage with Nationwide.

It would be sensible to commence your search sooner rather than later. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the estate agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Nationwide, make sure you remember to check that your lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel.

I decided to have a survey completed on a property in Hammersmith prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. Our surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to grant a mortgage on such a house.

It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Hammersmith. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Hammersmith to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

I am intending to sublet my leasehold flat in Hammersmith. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?

Your lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the flat owner; in particular, it will set out if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Hammersmith do not prevent strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the property. In most cases there is a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the sublease.

We have reached the end of our tether in seeking a lease extension in Hammersmith. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

in cases where there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to arrive at the premium.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Hammersmith premises is 19 Crisp Road in June 2009. Following a vesting order (Under section 26 of the Leasehold Reform,Housing and Urban Development Act 1993) The tribunal determined that the premium payable for the acquisition of the freehold was £33,756,apportioned as to£12,285 for the lower at and £21,471for the upper fat. This case related to 2 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 68.32 years.

Our lenders have just issued us with a mortgage offer. We appointed a local conveyancer in Hammersmith last week. A couple of hours ago, our broker phoned to advise us that the lender said that we cannot use our solicitor as they aren't on their 'approved list'. As FTB's, we did not have a clue that the mortgage company had some control over our choice Is this permitted?

You are at liberty to choose any property lawyer you want to instruct including the said conveyancer in Hammersmith but if your bank aren't happy with them you must incur additional cost so the mortgage company can appoint their own lawyers. sometimes it is conceivable that your preferred conveyancing firm to get added to the bank list of approved firms.
