The Wembley conveyancing firm handling our Wembley conveyancing has identified an inconsistency between the information in the home valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer has advised that he must check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s course or action correct?
Your solicitor must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for you.
When will exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Wembley and am I required to be at the conveyancers branch?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Wembley you are welcome to attend to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Wembley)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
My uncle passed away last year and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Wembley. The house had a small mortgage remaining of approximately £4500. I want to have the title changed into my name whilst I re-mortgage to TSB, pay off the mortgage. Is this possible?
Given you plan to refinance then TSB will insist on your using a conveyancer on the TSB conveyancing panel. Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate. Your TSB conveyancing panel solicitor pays the new mortgage money into the estate, the estate pays off the old mortgage, the charge is released and you become the owner and the TSB mortgage is registered as a charge at the Land Registry.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only Seventy years unexpired on my lease in Wembley. I need to get lease extension but my freeholder is absent. What are my options?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to track down the lessor. In some cases an enquiry agent should be helpful to conduct investigations and prepare an expert document which can be used as evidence that the landlord can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on investigating the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Wembley.
