I went with a Greenford based lawyer for our conveyancing in Greenford yesterday. After carefully reading the Ts and Cs I notewe are responsible for charges even if our purchase aborts. Would I be best advised to choose a web based conveyancing brokerage advertising no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Greenford?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is available then the fee levels will generally be more expensive to counteract the conveyances that abort. Also remember that these promotions tend not to cover outlay for example Greenford conveyancing search expenses.

My wife and I are about to exchange on the purchase of a house in Greenford but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner of £3k by way of a reduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of amending the contract but Co-operative are not allowing this. Why were they approached?

The lawyer being on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is required to disclose to Co-operative of any amendments to the purchase price. If you prohibit your solicitor to notify the price change to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new conveyancer for your conveyancing in Greenford.

I note that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Do I need chancel insurance when acquiring a residence in Greenford? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that means some house owners living in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards repairs to the chancel within the church. Is this relevant for conveyancing in Greenford?

Unless a previous purchase of the property completed post 12 October 2013 you could expect lawyers delivering conveyancing in Greenford to continue to suggest a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.

My cousin has encouraged me to use his lawyers for conveyancing in Greenford. Should I use them?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Greenford conveyancing lawyer it’s preferable to select a conveyancing lawyer is to seek guidance from friends or relatives who have actually experience in using the firm that you are are thinking of instructing.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Greenford. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Greenford - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can one apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Greenford conveyancing firm to represent me?

in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the LVT to assess the price.

An example of a lease Extension case 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 affected 1 flat. The unexpired term was 58.19 years.
