I have finally had an offer on an apartment in Isleworth accepted, but there is a chain. The vendors have placed an offer on on an apartment, however it’s not yet agreed to, and have viewings of other properties in the pipeline. I have chosen a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Isleworth.

It is usual to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur expenses too early (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Isleworth conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the estate agent told us that the owners will only go ahead if we use their chosen lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Isleworth
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Isleworth conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing thresholds demanded by head office.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Isleworth. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Isleworth - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
