Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Northolt is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Northolt are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Northolt you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I would have thought that there are particular concerns buying a leasehold house in Northolt. Conveyancing solicitors have are about to be appointed. Will they explain the issues?

It is clear that you are purchasing in Northolt in which case you should be shopping around for a Northolt conveyancing solicitor and check that they are used to transacting on leasehold houses.

After years of negotiations we are unable to agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Northolt. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?

My son is just in the process of moving house, he had his mortgage in principle. When the seller agreed the offer on the house we telephoned the bank to go forward with his. I was disappointed to hear that mortgage lenders do not accept all property lawyer, they need to be on their approved list, is this correct?
Mortgage Companies normally imposes restrictions either the type or the number of conveyancing solicitors on their approved list of lawyers. Typical examples of such restriction(s) being that a firm must have two or more partners. In addition to restricting the type of firm, some have decided to limit the number of firms they use to represent them. You should note that lenders have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any Northolt lawyer on their panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of conveyancing panels a few years ago and whilst there are differing views about the extent of solicitor involvement in some of that fraud. Statistics from the Land Registry reveal that thousands of law firms only carry out one or two conveyances a year. Those supporting conveyancing panel cuts ask why law firms should have the right to be on a Lender panel when clearly, conveyancing is not their speciality. To put it another way; would you want a conveyancing solicitor to represent you if you were charged with a crime? Unlikely.
