My partner and I have organised the release of further monies on our mortgage from Virgin Money as we want to conduct a loft conversion to our home in North Sheen. Do we need to appoint a high street North Sheen solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Virgin Money would not normally require a member of their conveyancing panel to handle the formalities. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Virgin Money list.
My offer on a detached house in North Sheen has been accepted, but there is a chain. The sellers have offered on somewhere, but it’s not yet tied up, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a high street conveyancing solicitor in North Sheen. What do I do now? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with TSB?
It is understandable to have concerns where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (mortgage application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, North Sheen conveyancing search charges, etc). First, you should ensure that your lawyer is on the TSB approved list. Regarding the next steps this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, desire for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market some purchasers would apply for the mortgage with TSB and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they request their solicitor to press on with the conveyancing in North Sheen.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in North Sheen I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in North Sheen suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Seventy years remaining on my flat in North Sheen. I now want to extend my lease but my freeholder is missing. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to locate the freeholder. On the whole a specialist may be helpful to carry out a search and to produce a report which can be used as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor both on proving the landlord’s disappearance and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing North Sheen.
