Is it realistic for conveyancing in Isleworth to be concluded within a month?
In a situation where the seller is applying time constraints to sign contracts it is advisable to make sure that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will have local relationships and knowledge. It is possible that they may have transacted otherhouses in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Isleworth conveyancing lawyer. Second, double check that the conveyancing firm is on the member panel. It is claimed that nearly one in five of Isleworth conveyancing transactions are frustrated or derailed after finding out that a purchaser’s solicitor was not on their mortgage lender’s panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the legal process being held up by as much as 21 days. It is estimated that this issue affects in the region of 100,000 home sales annually. Almost all Isleworth conveyancing practices can not represent certain banks so do check at the outset.

We have agreed to purchase a house in Isleworth. A rare aspect is that the roof has a solar panel. Solicitors conducting should look into this right? Will my lender Yorkshire BS be concerned?
As your lender is Yorkshire BS your lawyer must comply with the formal instructions outlined in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for Yorkshire BS. The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook includes minimum specifications for solar panel roof-space leases, and conveyancing practitioners are required to report to Yorkshire BS where a lease does not meet these provisions. The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties countrywide and is not limited to Isleworth.
After months of negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Isleworth. My financial adviser suggested a lawyer. I paid an advanced payment of £150. A couple of days later, the solicitor called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Aldermore conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Aldermore panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
I am purchasing my first flat in Isleworth with a mortgage from Norwich and Peterborough Building Society. The sellers would not move on the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agent office in Isleworth where we see a few flat sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local Isleworth conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I own a garden flat in Isleworth. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the premium due for a lease extension?
You certainly can. We can put you in touch with a Isleworth conveyancing firm who can help.
