Is the fact that my conveyancer in Ruislip Manor is not identified on my mortgage company's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of her work?
That would more than likely be an incorrect assumption to make. There are all sorts of perfectly plausible explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator indicated that over three quarters of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the solicitor is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Should you be concerned you should simply call the Ruislip Manor conveyancing firm and ask them why they are no longer on the approved list for your lender.
How does conveyancing in Ruislip Manor differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ruislip Manor come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Ruislip Manor tend to buy the land, 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. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Ruislip Manor or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Ruislip Manor I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Ruislip Manor in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in Ruislip Manor and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to affords protection to commercial leaseholders, giving them the legal entitlement to apply to court for a renewal tenancy and remain in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.
