My partner and I have arranged the release of further funds on our mortgage from Virgin Money as we intend to conduct alterations to our property in Ruislip Gardens. Are we obliged to choose a local Ruislip Gardens solicitor on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel to handle the legals?

My wife and I are spending time looking at apartments in Ruislip Gardens and I am about to put in an offer. Should I already have a solicitor appointed at this stage? I intend to finance via a home loan with Kent Reliance.
It would be advisable to commence your search sooner rather than later.

I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by RBS. Is it usual for RBS to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Ruislip Gardens is approved on their conveyancing panel? RBS have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Ruislip Gardens is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?

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've recently bought a leasehold house in Ruislip Gardens. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Ruislip Gardens flat is Flat 72 Queens Walk in January 2013. The Tribunals calculated the premium payable to be £22,090. This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 53.26 years.
