Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. 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. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified.

The primary upside of using a local Hillingdon conveyancing firm is that you can pop in to execute documents, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. Having local Hillingdon know how is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust instructed your friend and they were impressed that should trump using an unfamiliar Hillingdon conveyancing lawyer just because they are Hillingdon based.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Hillingdon. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Hillingdon - 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.
