My wife and I are due to complete on the purchase of a house in Brondesbury but as a consequence of wreckage from the recent storms I have was able negotiate reparation from the owner of £3k taking the form of a deduction in the price. This was going to be addressed as part of the conveyancing process however TSB are not allowing this. Why were they approached?
The conveyancing practitioner that is on the TSB approved list is required to inform TSB of any variations to the sale price. If you prohibit your lawyer to report the price change to TSB then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, TSB and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Brondesbury.
Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our property are lost. The lawyers who dealt with the conveyancing in Brondesbury 10 years ago no longer exist. What are my options?
As long as the title is registered the details of your ownership will be retained by HMLR with a Title Number. It is easy to perform a search at the Land Registry, identify your house and order up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver. Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a file copy of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be ordered for a small fee.
How does conveyancing in Brondesbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Brondesbury contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because developers in Brondesbury usually buy 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 property lawyers 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 Brondesbury or who has acted in the same development.

I am looking at a two apartments in Brondesbury which have in the region of 50 years unexpired on the lease term. should I be concerned?
There are plenty of short leases in Brondesbury. The lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more costly to extend the lease. For this reason it is generally wise to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We recommend you seek professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
