Me and my brother purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in Isleworth. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Bank of Scotland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, another for leasehold under the matching address. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Isleworth and other locations in 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 purchasers. You can also question the position with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the work.

Am I right to be concerned by brokers that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a national conveyancing firm rather than a local Isleworth conveyancing company?

As with lots of professional services, often referrals from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may recommend conveyancers to select. Sometimes these lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that most lenders specify a panel list of lawyers you must use for the lender aspect of your home move.

I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that appears to tick a lot of boxes, at a reasonable price which is making it more attractive. I have just discovered that the title is leasehold rather than freehold. I am assuming that there are issues buying a house with a leasehold title in Isleworth. Conveyancing advisers have are soon to be instructed. Will they explain the issues?

The majority of houses in Isleworth are freehold rather than leasehold. This is one of the situations where having a local solicitor who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are buying in Isleworth in which case you should be shopping around for a Isleworth conveyancing practitioner and be sure that they have experience in advising on leasehold houses. As a matter of priority you will need to check the unexpired lease term. Being a lessee you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want to the property. The lease will likely included provisions for example obtaining the freeholder’sconsent to carry out alterations. You may also be required to pay a maintenance charge towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the house is located on an estate. Your solicitor will advise you fully on all the issues.

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

You certainly can. We can put you in touch with a Isleworth conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Isleworth property 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 number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 60.45 years.

We have AIP from Lloyds TSB Bank who said we could borrow up to £350k. At what point do I need to instruct a lawyer for conveyancing? Isleworth is where we are buying.

You can instruct a conveyancer now so that the lawyer can open the file so they can conduct their AML checks etc. As and when you wish them to start work you will be asked for a payment on account normally about £175. That would generally be after you have the mortgage offer and valuation report, however if you wish to expedite matters you can start sooner albeit risking some money.
