I am buying a house without a mortgage in Harlesden. I have been living for the previous 15 years in Harlesden. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I know the area and road intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

In the absence of a home loan, then all but one or two of the Harlesden conveyancing searches are at your discretion. Your lawyer will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he has a professional duty to take that path of guidance. One thing to take into account; if you are likely to sell the house at a future date, it will be of interest to your prospective purchaser what the searches reveal. Sometimes houses with apparent issues can still show up negative search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Harlesden should be able to give you some constructive advice in this regard.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel lawyer as I would prefer to appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Harlesden?

You should check but the the likelihood is that give you one of their panel solicitors where you take up the "fee-free" incentive. Speak to the bank to explore if they allow a cash alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as a further option in which case you could put that amount towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor near Harlesden.

I have a terraced Edwardian house in Harlesden. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and HSBC Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold under the matching address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Harlesden and other locations in 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 buyers. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Harlesden. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build conveyancing.

Set out below is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Harlesden

    Please supply a car parking plan. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Harlesden I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Harlesden suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
