I am considering applying for a RBS mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Ruislip with 65 per cent loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for RBS ?
There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but RBS will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.
Is it necessary to pay for insurance to address the risk of chancel repairs when purchasing a residence in Ruislip?
Unless a prior acquisition of the house took place post 12 October 2013 you can expect lawyers carrying out conveyancing in Ruislip to remain recommending a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Ruislip I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Ruislip suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
How do I locate a Ruislip solicitor on the Nottingham Building Society conveyancing panel? I am a keen cyclist and am willing to travel upto 25miles to meet the conveyancer.

I need to find a conveyancing solicitor for leasehold conveyancing in Ruislip. I happened to chance upon a web site which appears to be the perfect answer If there is a chance to get all the legals completed via phone that would be preferable. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?
As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Ruislip. Before diving in I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - 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.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without success. Can a leaseholder make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Ruislip conveyancing firm to help?
Most certainly. We can put you in touch with a Ruislip conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Ruislip residence is Flat 72 Queens Walk in January 2013. The Tribunals calculated the premium payable to be £22,090. This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 53.26 years.
