I have recentlybecome aware that Wolstenholmes have been shut down. They carried out my conveyancing in Yiewsley for a purchase of a freehold house 18 months ago. How can I be sure that my home is not still registered in the name of the previous owner?
The quickest way to check if the property is registered to you, you can make a search of the land registry (£3.00). You can either do this yourself or ask a law firm to do this for you. If you are not registered you can seek help from one of a number of Yiewsley conveyancing specialists.
How does conveyancing in Yiewsley differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Yiewsley approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Yiewsley typically acquire the land, 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 Yiewsley or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Yiewsley I like with a park and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Yiewsley suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
After months of negotiations we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Yiewsley. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
You certainly can. We can put you in touch with a Yiewsley conveyancing firm who can help.

The tribunal agreed with the proposed price of £20,158 for the freehold and determined that that sum is the amount to be paid into court This case related to 2 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 69 years.
What are the common deficiencies that you witness in leases for Yiewsley properties?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Yiewsley. All leases are drafted differently and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain sections are wrong. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
Insurance obligations Repairing obligations to or maintain parts of the property
A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property. Lloyds TSB Bank, Barnsley Building Society, and Platform Home Loans Ltd all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to grant the mortgage, obliging the buyer to pull out.
I have just had an offer accepted on a leasehold flat in Yiewsley and the mortgage adviser that we are using suggested his property lawyer. He quoted £800 excluding VAT and 3rd party costs. Does this sound like a good deal?
