My wife and I are hoping to purchase a flat in Yeading and are in fact using a Yeading conveyancing firm. Within the past 48 hours our property lawyer has sent a preliminary report and documents to look through in anticipation of exchanging contracts shortly. National Westminster Bank have this morning contacted us to advise us that there is now an issue as our Yeading conveyancer is not on their approved list of lawyers. What do we do from here?
When purchasing a property with mortgage finance it is conventional for the purchasers' solicitors to also represent the mortgage company. In order to act for a bank or building society a law firm has to be on that lender's conveyancing panel. An application has to be made by the law firm to the lender to become a member of the lender's panel and there are increasingly strict criteria which the firm has to satisfy and indeed some lenders now require their panel members to be part of the Law Society’s Conveyancing Accreditation Scheme. Your solicitor should contact your bank and see if they can apply for membership of their conveyancing panel, but if that is not viable they will instruct their own solicitors to act. You are not legally obliged to appoint a law firm on the lender’s conveyancing panel as you are at liberty to use your preferred Yeading lawyers, in which case your legal fees may increase, and it may delay matters as you are adding another lawyer into the mix.
My brother and I have recently acquired a property in Yeading. We have noticed several issues with the property which we consider were missed in the conveyancing searches. Do we have any recourse? What searches should? have been conducted for conveyancing in Yeading?
It is not clear from the question as what problems have arisen and if they are specific to conveyancing in Yeading. Conveyancing searches and due diligence undertaken as part of the buying process are supposed to help avoid problems. As part of the legal transfer of property, a seller completes a document referred to as a Seller’s Property Information Form. If the information is incorrect, you could possibly take legal action against the seller 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 Yeading.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial offices in Yeading and how can your lawyers assist?
The particular law that you refer to provides a safeguard to commercial lessees, granting the dueness to make a request to court for a continuation of occupancy at the end of an expired lease. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

Having spent months of negotiations we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Yeading. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
if there is a absentee freeholder or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the LVT to calculate the premium.
An example of a lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Yeading property is 25 Beechwood Avenue in November 2012. the Tribunal accordingly determined that the premium for the lease extension should be £24,353. This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 58.19 years.
