Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Heathrow

My partner and I are purchasing our first house. The lawyer has e-mailedto check if we wish to order supplemental conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's needed for conveyancing in Heathrow

The range of Heathrow conveyancing searches should be dictated primarily on the property, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your familiarity of the locality and risks, your general attitude to risk. What matters is that you adequately comprehend what information the searches could supply. You may then make a decision if you consider that you need that search. Where you are in doubt, ask the property lawyer to recommend.

Various web forums that I have come across warn that are the number one cause of stalling in Heathrow conveyancing transactions. Is that correct?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published determinations of research by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure amongst the top 10 causes of delays during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Heathrow.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home are lost. The lawyers who did the conveyancing in Heathrow 4 years ago have long since closed. What are my next steps?

As long as the title is registered the details of your ownership will be evidenced by HMLR under a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, identify your property and obtain up to date copies of the Registered Entries for less than a fiver. If the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will in most cases hold a certified duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for twenty pounds.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Heathrow is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?

Flying freeholds in Heathrow are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Heathrow you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Heathrow may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

All being well we will complete our sale of a £150,000 garden flat in Heathrow on Friday in a week. The management company has quoted £360 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and previous years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Heathrow?

Heathrow conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes usually requires the purchaser’s solicitor sending enquiries for the landlord to address. Although the landlord is not legally bound to address these enquiries the majority will be willing to do so. They may levy a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some situations it is in excess of £800. The management information fee demanded by the landlord must be accompanied by a synopsis of entitlements and obligations in respect of administration fees, otherwise the invoice is technically not due. Reality however dictates that one has little choice but to pay whatever is demanded should you wish to complete the sale of your home.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Heathrow conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?

Absolutely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Heathrow conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Heathrow flat is 147 Redford Close in June 2012. The Tribunal determined the lease extension premium to be at £4,200 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term was 82.93 years.

I'm selling a house in Heathrow. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't locate my lawyer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Is this a big problem?

Not every individual in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be undertaken by unqualified staff.
