Conveyancing in Willesden : Keep it Local

Main reasons to let us help you choose a high street conveyancing solicitor in Willesden

  • 1 Willesden conveyancers have a crucial advantage when it comes to Willesden conveyancing as they have important local knowledge of local authority requirements, planning policies and other matters that will affect your conveyancing
  • 2 The hallmark of our conveyancing solicitors in Willesden is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by national chain estate agents) often falls short of the level of professionalism you will expect.
  • 3 We are the UKs most comprehensive domestic conveyancing directory listing bank approved law practices delivering conveyancing in Willesden governed by the SRA or Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
  • 4 On the balance of probabilities the other side’s solicitors are based in Willesden - if so both parties are likely to have worked on conveyancing matters in the past
  • 5 Personal touch and pure property expertise are key benefits that you should value when selecting conveyancing solicitors. Willesden property deals can become a lot more complicated due to lack of transparency between all the parties. The lawyers we work with strive to make sure that communication channels are open and act on arising issues and developments instantly.

Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Willesden

I am in need of a property lawyer. Should I go for for a national conveyancer rather than a local Willesden conveyancing solicitor?

Willesden is a special area, where local know-how is a significant benefit. The laid-back lifestyle is great – just not for your conveyancing. The solicitors that we work with display a wealth of Willesden insight with a positive, hands-onattitude that ensures the conveyancing to progress hassle free. It will certainly help where they benefit from long term rapport with financial advisers, search providers, valuers and counterpart Willesden conveyancing practitioners

Last January we completed a house move in Willesden. We have since encountered a number of issues with the house which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. What action can we take? What searches should? have been ordered as part of conveyancing in Willesden?

The query is not clear as what problems have arisen and if they are unique to conveyancing in Willesden. Conveyancing searches and investigations initiated during the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the process, the vendor answers a form called a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information ends up being misleading, then you may have a claim against the owner for any losses that you have suffered. The survey should have identified any problems with the structure of the property. Assuming a detailed survey was carried out and the issues were not identified, you may have a claim against the surveyor. However, if you did not have a full survey, you may be responsible for fixing any defects that have now been noted. We would always encourage buyers to take every possible step to ensure they are completely aware of the condition of a property before purchase regardless of whether they are buying in Willesden.

I have been told that property searches are a common reason for stalling in Willesden house deals. Is there any truth in this?

The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) released determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the common causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Local searches are unlikely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Willesden.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly picked up as part of conveyancing in Willesden?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Willesden. An 1874 stipulation that was seen was ‘The houses to be erected on the estate are each to be of a uniform elevation in accordance with the drawings to be prepared or approved by the vendor’s surveyor…’

How does conveyancing in Willesden differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Willesden come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because developers in Willesden usually acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Willesden or who has acted in the same development.

I am due to assess estimates for conveyancing in Willesden from various solicitor and choose one. Am I right to instruct them to sit tight until I I have my bid accepted on a house.

We suggest that you wait to get your conveyancer to open a file and order searches after the sales memo has been sent by the selling agent particularly as Willesden conveyancing searches are not cheap.
