The lawyers listed ensure that communication channels are open and act on arising issues and developments instantly.

Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Kilburn

Me and my fiance are buying a 3 bedroom apartment in Kilburn with a mortgage. We would like to retain our Kilburn lawyer, however the lender says he's not on their "panel". We have to appoint one of the lender panel conveyancing practices or keep our Kilburn property lawyer and pay for one of their panel firms to represent them. This seems very unfair; are we not able to insist that the mortgage company use our Kilburn conveyancer ?

No, not really. The mortgage offered to you is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Kilburn conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.

I just bought a house at auction in Kilburn. Conveyancing is necessary. What is next?

Given that you have now legally committed yourself to purchase you should instruct a conveyancing practitioner quickly as you now have a pending deadline in which to complete the deal. All auction property will have a bespoke auction pack. This should include most,if not all of the paperwork that your solicitor requires. If you have purchased leasehold property the legal pack may contain a copy of the lease, management information and a sellers leasehold information form and other conveyancing documentation specific to leasehold premises. You must give this to the lawyer working for you ASAP. You also need to ensure that you have funds in order to complete on the on the contractual date .

Can I be sure that the Kilburn conveyancing solicitor on the HSBC panel is any good?

When it comes to conveyancing in Kilburn getting recommendations is a good starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one which is cheap as chips. We would always advise that you speak with the lawyer carrying out your conveyancing.

I have paid off my mortgage with Aldermore. I assume I don't need a Kilburn lawyer on the Aldermore panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Aldermore 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 Aldermore mortgage from the register. Aldermore, 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:

  1. but are not moving to another property
  2. where Aldermore has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
  3. Aldermore has instructed the Land Registry to do so
The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your Aldermore mortgage has been paid off.

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one near me in Kilburn I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Kilburn for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Given that I will soon spend 450k on a two bedroom apartment in Kilburn I would like to talk to a conveyancer about myhouse move before giving the go ahead to the firm. Is this something that you can arrange?

Absolutely - it is our preference to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the solicitor who will be doing your conveyancing in Kilburn.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a file reference. The law firms that we put you in touch with believe that the fees you are provided with for your conveyancing in Kilburn should be the figure that you are charged.

I've recently bought a leasehold property in Kilburn. Do I have any liability for service charges for periods before my ownership?

Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.

If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

Notwithstanding our best endeavours, we have been unsuccessful in trying to reach an agreement for a lease extension in Kilburn. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

if there is a absentee freeholder or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to judgment on the amount due.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Kilburn flat is 4 & 4A Charteris Road in June 2009. the Tribunal held that the price to be paid for the enfranchisement of 4/4a Charteris Road to be £15,510 for at 4and £15,694 for at 4a This case affected 2 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 70.02 years.

My fiance and I are hoping to buy a three room ground floor flatin Kilburn with a loan from a bank. We have a conveyancer in Kilburn however our mortgage company says he's not listed on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our mortgage company panel solicitors or stay with our Kilburn conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our lender use our Kilburn lawyer?

Unfortunately,no. The lender mortgage issued is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had large numbers of law firms on their panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Kilburn : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your bank.
