Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Please supply a car parking plan. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business premises in Kensal Green and how can your lawyers assist?

How does one remove a departed person's details from the title deeds for a property in Kensal Green?

If a Kensal Green property is co-owned and one of the owners dies, the name will not automatically be removed from the title deeds. It is not necessary to amend the title as when it comes to a sale you would simply need to supply proof why the joint proprietor is not included in the transfer, such as a grant of probate.

With a view to making things simpler for the sale of the property you can arrange to have the deceased name erased from the title by applying to the land registry with evidence of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
