Following your disposal your solicitor should send the transfer deeds and all supplemental paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers.

Please help - my lawyer says that lack of planning permission insurance is needed on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Harrow Weald?

We previously instructed solicitors based in Harrow Weald on the Principality solicitor panel. They have just billed me an additional fee for dealing with the Principality mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Principality?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your solicitor is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not dictated by Principality but by your Harrow Weald conveyancer. Some firms on the Principality panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

All lenders have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office.

I am employed by a busy estate agency in Harrow Weald where we have experienced a few leasehold sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Harrow Weald conveyancing solicitors. Could you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible 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 correspondence we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Harrow Weald. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
