Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Shepherd's Bush

I am about to put a bid on a leasehold apartment in Shepherd's Bush. The selling agents say that it is standard for flats in Shepherd's Bush to have less than 75 years remaining. I am obtaining a mortgage with Platform. Will the property be mortgageable given that the lease has 72 years to go.

Most leasehold conveyancing experts should be able to deal with a lease extension. if you are getting a mortgage then your lender may insist that the lease be extended before competition. Platform have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook in relation to minimum unexpired lease terms. As of 4/9/2025 the requirements read as follows :

Minimum 85 years unexpired from completion, except where the mortgage application is pursuant to Platform's participation in the Government's Help to Buy Shared Equity scheme, in which case (a) the unexpired lease term must not be less than 250 years for new-build houses and not less than 125 years for new-build flats and (b) ground rent must be reasonable at all times and any escalation must be linked to RPI (Retail Price Index) or a similar index.

I am purchasing my first flat in Shepherd's Bush with a loan from Clydesdale. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my solicitor about this extras as it will impact my mortgage with the bank. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Shepherd's Bush before instructing lawyers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. Our surveyor has said that some banks tend not grant a loan on a flying freehold house.

I’m about to sell my 2 bed flat in Shepherd's Bush. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the service charge as you normally would as all ground rent and service invoices will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Shepherd's Bush conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?

Most certainly. We are happy to put you in touch with a Shepherd's Bush conveyancing firm who can help.
