I was informed recently by my lender that my Isleworth lawyer is not on the lender Solicitor panel. How can I be sure that this is correct?
Your first step should be to call your Isleworth lawyer directly. It is reasonable to expect your lawyer to notify you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they may recommend you to a Isleworth conveyancing practice that is on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
Finally the sale completed on my house in Isleworth last February but our buyer keeps Skype messaging daily to moan that her solicitor is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale legalities following completion?
Following your sale your solicitor is duty bound to send the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. Where appropriate, your conveyancer must also evidence that the home loan has been redeemed to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion tasks just for conveyancing in Isleworth.
I am purchasing my first flat in Isleworth benefiting from help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead. The property agent told me not inform my conveyancer about the deal as it will adversely affect my mortgage with the lender. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My husband and I are first time buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent has warned us that the vendor will only proceed if we use the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Isleworth
We suspect that the owner is not behind this demand. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Isleworth conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will earn their estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.
I am attracted to a couple of maisonettes in Isleworth which have approximately forty five years unexpired on the lease term. Will this present a problem?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease shortens the marketability of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more costly to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is generally wise to extend the lease term. Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders may be unwilling to lend money on such properties. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We advise that you seek professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
My wife and I have hit a brick wall in trying to purchase the freehold in Isleworth. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?
if there is a absentee landlord or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to decide the amount due.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Isleworth 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 number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 60.45 years.
