Are the Wembley conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Nottingham conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Nottingham?
Wembley conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Nottingham conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Nottingham directly.
We are planning to move property in March. Will my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the day of completion. Incidentally, can you recommend a removal company in Wembley. Conveyancing firm was organised before I stumbled across your website.
On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from the property agent but this can only occur after the vendors conveyancers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. Subsequently you can advise the removal company that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a specific removal organisation but can help you choose a residential property solicitor in Wembley or a legal practice with expertise in conveyancing in Wembley.
Is it the case that all Wembley CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the TSB conveyancing panel?
A selection of banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitors wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a flat in Wembley accepted, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on a property, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Wembley. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Virgin Money going?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then survey, Wembley conveyancing search fees, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel. Regarding the next phase this very much dictated by the circumstances of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a hot market many home buyers would apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they request their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with searches.
Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Wembley before appointing solicitors. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold element to the property. Our surveyor has said that some banks may not issue a mortgage on a flying freehold house.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Wembley. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Wembley especially if they are accustomed to such properties in Wembley.

No doubt the best way to select a conveyancing lawyer is to have feedback from friends or relatives who have used the solicitor that you are contemplating using.
I have had difficulty in negotiating a lease extension in Wembley. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?
in cases where there is a absentee landlord or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to judgment on the price payable.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Wembley flat is Ground Floor Flat 79 London Road in September 2012. the Tribunal held that the premium payable for the lease extension should be £7,636 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term was 74 years.
Are there common problems that you encounter in leases for Wembley properties?
Leasehold conveyancing in Wembley is not unique. Most leases are individual and drafting errors can sometimes mean that certain provisions are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the building
You could encounter a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Accord Mortgages Ltd, Chelsea Building Society, and Britannia all have express conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to provide security, forcing the purchaser to pull out.
