Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Isleworth

Due to complete my purchase in Isleworth next Friday. I have now been asked to send a copy of my building insurance schedule by my solicitor as as she informs me that she is duty bound to validate that it is in order for the mortgage company. What risks does the lender expect the insurance to cover?

Any lawyer on acting for mortgage companies would need to check that the following risks are covered fire; lightning; aircraft; explosion; earthquake; storm; flood; escape of water or oil; riot; malicious damage; theft or attempted theft; falling trees and branches and aerials; subsidence; heave;landslip;collision;accidental damage to underground services;professional fees, demolition and site clearance costs; and public liability to anyone else. There are some other issues such as the level of excess that are set out in a lender’s Part 2 requirements. These obligations are not unique to conveyancing in Isleworth.

Are the Isleworth conveyancing solicitors identified as being on the Barclays conveyancing panel, together with their details provided by Barclays?

Isleworth conveyancing firms themselves provide us confirmation that they are on the Barclays conveyancing panel as opposed to being supplied with a list from Barclays directly.

We're in Isleworth, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is Co-operative , and our lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

We are selling our home in Isleworth and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Isleworth lawyer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the buyers are using an online conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Isleworth. Having lived in Isleworth for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Isleworth. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Isleworth - 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.

I have had difficulty in trying to purchase the freehold in Isleworth. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?

Where there is a absentee landlord or where there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the LVT to judgment on the price.

An example of a Lease Extension case 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 unexpired term as at the valuation date was 60.45 years.

What do I do if I am not happy with the conveyancer who handled our conveyancing in Isleworth?

Occasionally the level of service you receive is not as you expect, and unfortunately every so often matters do not go as planned. However there is recourse where you were dissatisfied with your conveyancing in Isleworth. This varies from trying to resolve matters directly with them, through to reporting a lawyer to their regulator. If you remain aggrieved you may consider getting in touch with the Legal Ombudsman.
