How does conveyancing in Ruislip differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ruislip come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Ruislip typically acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Ruislip. Before I get started I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Ruislip - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
