We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the property agent informed us that the vendor will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Burnt Oak

It is unlikely the owners are behind this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to use your preferred Burnt Oak conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will earn the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Burnt Oak. Before I get started I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Burnt Oak - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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 for a lease extension without any joy. Can I make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Burnt Oak conveyancing firm to represent me?

You certainly can. We are happy to put you in touch with a Burnt Oak conveyancing firm who can help.
