I plan on purchasing an apartment in Bayswater. My lawyer is not on the bank approved panel. Can I still use my Bayswater conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
One will need to appoint a property lawyer to complete the formalities if you require a mortgage to buy your property. The conveyancing practitioner will carry out all the relevant due diligence on the property, ensuring that you’re registered as proprietor and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with. One can select a Bayswater property lawyer of your choice. Nevertheless, if the conveyancing practitioner selected is not on the bank approved list additional fees will be levied as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not historically applied for membership they should take the chance to apply.
The Bayswater conveyancing firm handling our Bayswater conveyancing has uncovered a discrepancy when comparing the assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the conveyancing documents. My lawyer says that he is obliged to check that the lender is happy with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s course or action legitimate?
Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook specifications which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.
It is is a decade since I acquired my house in Bayswater. Conveyancing lawyers have now been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find the deeds. Will this jeopardise the sale?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly the deeds may be kept by your lender or they may be in the possession of the conveyancers who handled the purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers procuring current official copies of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Bayswater relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
Is there a search tool that I can use to discover of the solicitor carrying out my conveyancing in Bayswater is on the mortgage lender’sconveyancing panel? I am looking to avoid the situation of having one lawyer for me and one for Alliance & Leicester thus spending £175.00 in another set of conveyancing invoice.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bayswater is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Bayswater are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Bayswater you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bayswater may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
Back In 2003, I bought a leasehold house in Bayswater. Conveyancing and Lloyds TSB Bank mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing practitioner in Bayswater who previously acted has long since retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a Bayswater conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for less than a fiver. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
After years of negotiations we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Bayswater. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the LVT to assess the sum to be paid.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Bayswater property is 93 Oakwood Court in June 2010. the LVT determined that the premium to be paid for the new lease was £492,083, This case related to 1 flat. The remaining number of years on the lease was 37.79 years.
