Finally the sale completed on my house in Kensal Rise last September but the buyer keeps e-mailing every few hours to moan that his solicitor needs to hear from mylawyer. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?
Following your house sale your solicitor is committed to send the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your lawyer must also evidence that the home loan has been repaid to the purchasers conveyancers. There are no post completion procedures just for conveyancing in Kensal Rise.
I am purchasing a house and require a conveyancing solicitor in Kensal Rise who is on the Godiva Mortgages Ltd conveyancing. Can you recommend a local firm?

Can you point me to a directory of HSBC panel conveyancers in Kensal Rise on the Council of Mortgage Lender’s Website?
Unfortunately not yet. There is no such directory service on the CML or Building Society Association websites. A small selection of banks make their panel listings available over the internet. If you are seeking to appoint a Kensal Rise lawyer on the HSBC please make the most of our facility.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Kensal Rise. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Almost all lenders have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. In most cases complaints to a lender are sorted out effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
Intending to buy a house in Kensal Rise. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Aldermore 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 Kensal Rise property lawyer is on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.
3 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Kensal Rise completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
I am buying my first flat in Kensal Rise benefiting from help to buy. The builders would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative advised me not inform my conveyancer about the extras as it would affect my mortgage with The Mortgage Works. Should I keep quiet?.
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.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
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 have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Kensal Rise I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kensal Rise suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign 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 lawyer about this matter.
