Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unexperienced as FTB of a garden flat in Isleworth. Do I collect the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Isleworth?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
I have paid off my mortgage with Leeds Building Society. I assume I don't need a Isleworth conveyancer on the Leeds Building Society panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Leeds Building Society mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Leeds Building Society mortgage from the register. Leeds Building Society, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Leeds Building Society has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Leeds Building Society has instructed the Land Registry to do so
Planning on purchasing a apartment in Isleworth. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Isleworth conveyancing practitioner is on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel.
Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Isleworth , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my title? My Isleworth conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are addressed.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Isleworth registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the property so an expedited registration is not always an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Isleworth is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Isleworth are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Isleworth you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Isleworth may determine 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 property.
