Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Northolt

Do the conveyancing solicitors identified via your search tool execute auction conveyancing in Northolt?

There are a number of auction solicitors we can put you in touch with those specialising in auction conveyancing. Northolt is just one of the many locations in which our lawyers are based.

Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Northolt is more expensive?

In summary, leasehold conveyancing in Northolt and elsewhere usually warrants extra due diligence compared to freehold conveyancing. This includes reviewing the lease, communicating with the landlord concerning the service of appropriate notices, obtaining up-to-date service charge and management information, procuring the freeholder’s consents and reviewing management accounts. The obligations on both the landlord and the tenant in the lease need to be studied by the buyer’s conveyancing team and read from beginning to end – no matter how many different leaseholders have owned the lease since it was first entered into.

This question may be naive but I am new to the home moving as a first time buyer of a garden flat in Northolt. Do I receive the keys to the house on completion from my lawyer? If so, I will use a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Northolt?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to receive the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

I have been told by my lawyer that absentee landlord insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Northolt?

The right level of absentee landlord indemnity insurance depends on who your lender is. It would differ for example between Lloyds TSB Bank and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing lawyers as opposed to borrowers take out such insurances.

It is unclear whether my bank requires a lease extension. I have called into my local Northolt bank branch on a couple of occasions and was told it does not impact the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Northolt conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned and was told they refuse to lend based on their published requirements. I have no idea who is right.

Your lawyer must comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two provisions for your bank. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in Northolt ahead of appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not give a mortgage on such a home.

It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements from Birmingham Midshires. Should you wish to telephone us we can check with the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Northolt. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Northolt especially if they regularly deal with such properties in Northolt.

I have been recommended by a few selling agents in Northolt to get a quote from a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your services rather than another?

We refuse to give any commission for sending work in our direction. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

How do I determine who owns a house in Northolt?

Provided the premises is recorded at the Land Registry, and you have the information of the address of the property, you will be able to see details from the HMLR of the registered owner for a fee.
