Recently asked questions about conveyancing in White City

When will exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in White City and do I need to attend the lawyers office?

Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in White City you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in White City)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

About to purchase a new build flat in White City. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.

Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in White City

    Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Please supply a car parking plan. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in White City I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in White City in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.

Do I need to be suspicious that estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a local White City conveyancing firm?

As is the case with lots of professional services, often referrals from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are numerous players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies may recommend solicitors to appoint. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there may be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to choose your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that most banks specify a panel list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.

My step-father has suggested that I instruct his conveyancing solicitors in White City. Do I take his advice?

No doubt the best way to find a conveyancing practitioner is to seek recommendations from friends or family who have actually experience in using the firm that you are are thinking of instructing.

I work for a reputable estate agent office in White City where we have experienced a few flat sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local White City conveyancing firms. Please can you clarify whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?

Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.

Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.

I am the leaseholder of a ground floor flat in White City. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the premium payable for the purchase of the freehold?

You certainly can. We can put you in touch with a White City conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a White City residence is 23 & 23A Collingbourne Road in June 2013. Tribunal was dealing with the assessment of the value of the freehold reversion and determination of the terms of the acquisition pursuant to an Order of District Judge Lightman dated 25 February 2013 vesting the freehold interest in the property in the applicant. The tribunal assessed the price of the freehold (to which any arrears or other sums due to the missing landlord under the leases should be added) at £81,638. This case related to 2 flats. The unexpired lease term was 64.5 years.
