I plan on buying property in Ealing. My property lawyer is not listed on the bank conveyancing panel. Is it possible for me to continue with my Ealing conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?
One must have a conveyancer to complete the formalities if you take out a loan to purchase your property. The conveyancing practitioner will carry out all the appropriate investigations on the property, ensuring that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is in place. You could appoint a Ealing solicitor of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the solicitor selected is not a member of the lender solicitor panel additional fees will arise as separate legal representation will be required by them. Bank panel applications can be submitted, so where your conveyancer has not historically sought membership they can do so.
Due to complete my purchase in Ealing next Friday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the lender. What does the insurance need to cover?
All property lawyers on acting for lenders would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook instructions. These obligations are not limited to conveyancing in Ealing.

Me and my brother own a semi-detached Georgian house in Ealing. Conveyancing lawyer acted for me and Lloyds TSB Bank. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same address. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Ealing and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Ealing. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Ealing
-
Please supply a car parking plan. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. 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.
