If you are instructing a solicitor for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Hounslow conveyancing firm) it is most important that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of conveyancing.

The following questions might be of use:

    What volume of lease extensions have they carried out in Hounslow in the last twenty four months?

I own a basement flat in Hounslow. Given that I can not reach agreement with the landlord, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal determine the sum due for a lease extension?

if there is a absentee freeholder or where there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to arrive at the price payable.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Hounslow premises is Ground Floor Flat 91 Bath Road in May 2009. in a case where the freeholder could not be traced, the Brentford County Court ordered that the Lease be surrendered in return for the grant of a new lease of the Premises at a premium determined by the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal. The tribunal concluded that the price payable by the Applicant for the new lease of the premises be £15,900 This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 60.45 years.

My dad purchased his flat in Hounslow eight years ago. He has since got married, widowed and is now remarried. He now wants to dispose of the Hounslow property. I suspect that he will simply be need to provide a copy of the marriage certificates to the conveyancing practitioner but he is anxious it will hold up the sale of the apartment. Is it worth updating the Land Registry documents for the property?

You are not required to update the title for the property providing you have the evidence needed to show how the change of name has come about.

Any buyer’s conveyancing practitioner should examine the land registry information and ask for evidence to establish the name change for instance marriage certificates.
