I am in the market for a low cost property lawyer. Do I opt for a web based conveyancer or a family Kilburn Park conveyancing lawyer?
Kilburn Park is a special area, where neighbourhood know-how is a big bonus. The relaxed pace of life has it’s attractions – but not when it comes to your house move.

It is a definite plus that they can make use of long term connections with mortgage brokers, estate agents, valuers and counterpart Kilburn Park conveyancing solicitors
Me and my partner are purchasing our first home. The solicitor has texted usto see if we would like to order supplemental conveyancing searches. Frankly we in the dark as to what's relevant for conveyancing in Kilburn Park
The type of Kilburn Park conveyancing searches depends entirely on the property, the location, the possibility of any of these risks, your knowledge of the region and risks, your overall approach to risk. What matters is that you properly appreciate what information the searches could provide. Then you can make a decision if you consider that you need that search. Should you be uncertain, ask your property lawyer to advise.
My fiance and I are hoping to buy a 3 bedroom apartment in Kilburn Park with a mortgage from Nottingham Building Society.We would like to retain our Kilburn Park conveyancing solicitor but Nottingham Building Society says he's not on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a Nottingham Building Society panel solicitor or keep our high street solicitor and fork out for a Nottingham Building Society panel lawyer to represent them. This seems very unfair; is there anything we can do?
No, not really. The loan issued to you contains terms and conditions, a common one being that lawyers must be on the Nottingham Building Society approved list. in the past, most mortgage companies had large numbers of solicitors 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 lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Nottingham Building Society
My wife and I purchased a semi-detached Victorian property in Kilburn Park. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and TSB. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold under the matching property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?
You need to read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Kilburn Park and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
I'm purchasing my first flat in Kilburn Park with the aid of help to buy. The developers would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the deal as it would affect my loan with the bank. 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.
My fiance and I may need to rent out our Kilburn Park garden flat temporarily due to a new job. We used a Kilburn Park conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any guidance as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A lease dictates relations between the freeholder and you the flat owner; in particular, it will say if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is allowed. Most leases in Kilburn Park do not contain subletting altogether – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the property. Instead, there is usually a basic requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the sublease.
I own a basement flat in Kilburn Park. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the premium payable for a lease extension?
in cases where there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to determine the amount due.
