Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Harefield

We chose a high street firm for our conveyancing in Harefield last week. After carefully reading the terms of engagement I notewe are responsible for costs even if our purchase doesn't happen. Should I ditch them and use a web based firm promoting no-sale-no-fee conveyancing in Harefield?

It is usually a trade off in that if "No Completion No Fee" is advertised then the conveyancing charges will tend to be be higher to counteract the transactions that fail to complete. Dont forget that these arrangements tend not to cover expenses for instance Harefield conveyancing search fees.

As someone clueless as to the Harefield conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can impart for the home moving process in Harefield

You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Harefield or throughout England and Wales is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for confrontation between you and others involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the seller, property agent and even potentially a mortgage company. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Harefield an important selection as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONLY party in the legal process whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.

Every so often a third party with a vested interest will attempt to persuade you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For example, the estate agent may claim to be assisting by claiming that your solicitor is slow. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do take action that is against your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the conveyancing process.

My fiance and I are purchasing a 1 bedroom apartment in Harefield with a loan from Lloyds TSB Bank.We like our Harefield conveyancing solicitor but Lloyds TSB Bank says he's not on their "panel". we are left little option but to use a Lloyds TSB Bank panel lawyer or retain our high street solicitor and fork out for a Lloyds TSB Bank panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that Lloyds TSB Bank use our lawyer?

No, not really. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, a common one being that conveyancers will be on the Lloyds TSB Bank approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could find one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Lloyds TSB Bank

These day there are copies made of almost everything, and your solicitor will be aware precisely where to locate all the relevant documentation so you may buy or sell your house without a hitch. If copies are not available, your lawyer may be able to arrange cover in the form of insurance or indemnities protecting you against future claims on your premises.

I work for a reputable estate agent office in Harefield where we have experienced a number of leasehold sales derailed due to short leases. I have been given conflicting advice from local Harefield conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?

Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.

An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

Having spent months of negotiations we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Harefield. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?

in cases where there is a missing freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to make a decision on the price payable.

An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Harefield flat is Flats 8, 11 and 15 Craigmore Court 46 Murray Road in December 2013. The tribunal held that the price payable by the Applicant tenant of Flat 8 to acquire an extended lease shall be £26,438 plus £1 to the intermediate lessee . The tribunal held that the price payable by the Applicant tenants of Flat 11 to acquire an extended lease shall be £26,791 plus £1 to the intermediate lessee. The tribunal held that the price payable by the Applicant tenant of Flat 15 to acquire an extended lease shall be £26,638 plus £1 to the intermediate lessee . This case related to 3 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 71 years.
