We instructed a Greenford based solicitor for our conveyancing in Greenford yesterday. Going through the Terms and Conditions I seewe are responsible for costs even where the conveyance does not complete. Should I go with them or select an on-line firm promoting no completion no charge conveyancing in Greenford?

Generally there is a concession along the lines that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be more expensive to cover those transactions that do not go ahead. Do bear in mind that these offerings tend not to protect you from disbursements such your Greenford conveyancing search charges.

We wanted to use a property lawyer in Greenford for our house purchase. Our financial adviser has since advised us that our bank Aldermore won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unduly restrictive?

A lender can insist on a panel conveyancer act for it. Borrowers are liable to bear the cost of this. Try using our database to get a quote from a solicitor to conduct conveyancing in Greenford on the Aldermore member panel.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Greenford. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 conveyancing.

Set out below is a sample of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Greenford

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.

I work for a reputable estate agency in Greenford where we have experienced a few leasehold sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given contradictory information from local Greenford conveyancing firms. Can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension formalities 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 start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means 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 has to be done prior to, or at the same time as 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 have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can I make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Greenford conveyancing firm to help?

Most definitely. We can put you in touch with a Greenford conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Greenford residence 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 lease term was 58.19 years.

For various reasons I cannot attend my Greenford conveyancing lawyers office to sign documents for conveyancing in Greenford – is this a problem?

You need not be concerned. Greenford conveyancing solicitors can deal with home moves for clients wider afield. You are unlikely to be required to visit a Greenford conveyancers office. They can handle all communications remotely from their Greenford office.
