Reasons to use our Maida Hill conveyancing solicitors

  • 1 Conveyancer conveyancing solicitors have valuable personal links with Maida Hill selling agents and work very closely with them and local surveyors so as to ensure transactions proceed expeditiously.
  • 2 Personal touch together with pure property experience are key benefits that you should seek when choosing conveyancing solicitors. Maida Hill home moves can be made significantly more stressful as a result of lack of transparency between all the parties. The lawyers we work with endeavour to make sure that communication channels are open and act on arising issues and developments quickly.
  • 3 The mark of a good conveyancing solicitor in Maida Hill is quality not quantity. The level of service offered by conveyancing "factories" (sometimes 'recommended' by large estate agency chains) often falls short of the level of professionalism you would hope for.

Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Maida Hill

I am expecting a mortgage offer from Nat West. My intention is to instruct a Licensed Conveyancer in Maida Hill. Does the Nat West Solicitor panel include conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

The Nat West conveyancing panel is, like many other lenders, associated to the Council or Mortgage Lenders or Building Society Association, open to Licensed Conveyancers regulated by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

Some advice if I may. My Maida Hill solicitor is advising me that she is duty bound toorder Maida Hill conveyancing searches becausethe firm are on the HSBCconveyancing panel. These Maida Hill checks cost a lot of money can this be avoided?

Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a lender your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to comply with the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook provisions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Maida Hill conveyancing searches.

Finally the sale completed on my house in Maida Hill last August yet the purchaser is e-mailing me complaining that their lawyer needs to hear from mylawyer. What should have happened now that I have sold?

Post completion of your disposal your conveyancer should deliver the transfer deeds and all of the paperwork to the buyer’s lawyers. If applicable, your lawyer should also evidence that the mortgage has been redeemed to the buyers conveyancers. There are no post completion tasks unique to conveyancing in Maida Hill.

Am I best advised to appoint a Maida Hill conveyancing lawyer in close proximity to the house I am hoping to buy? I have an old university friend who can execute the legal formalities but they are based approximately 350miles drive away.

The primary upside of using a local Maida Hill conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, present your identification documents and apply pressure on them where appropriate. Having local Maida Hill know how is a benefit. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If if people you trust instructed your friend and they were content that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Maida Hill conveyancing solicitor just because they are based in the area.

Expecting to complete next month on a basement flat in Maida Hill. Conveyancing solicitors inform me that they report fully tomorrow. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

Your report on title for your leasehold conveyancing in Maida Hill should include some of the following:

    Information as to the provision as set out in the lease to pay service charges - in respect of the block, and the wider rights a lessee has Where does the liability rest to repair and maintain the block. It is important that you know who is responsible the repair and maintenance of all parts of the block and estate The length of the lease term.

For a comprehensive list of information to be contained in your report on your leasehold property in Maida Hill please ask your conveyancer in advance of your conveyancing in Maida Hill.

After years of correspondence we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Maida Hill. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?

if there is a missing freeholder or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the LVT to decide the amount due.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Maida Hill premises is Flat 1 57 Oxford Gardens in January 2014. the Tribunal decided that the premium to be paidfor a new lease is £61,650.00. This case related to 1 flat. The unexpired term was 60 years.

My parents are unable to locate their Maida Hill land registry title on the website. They have a vague recollection back in the 70’s when they bought the house there were complications regarding the address not being recognised in some systems.

Almost all residences in Maida Hill should show up. Have you tried a search to just the postcode. Normally it should mention all the premises inside that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will be there with a title number. Where they bought 48 years ago it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The address may still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title documentation which might be with your parent’s mortgage company.
