Forgive me if this question is silly but I am wet behind the ears as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Ruislip Gardens. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Ruislip Gardens?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Ruislip Gardens. Your solicitors will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.
Is it the case that all Ruislip Gardens solicitor firms on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel are governed by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?
As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Leeds Building Society approved list of solicitors they would need to be overseen by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority. Many banks do allow licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be governed by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Ruislip Gardens conveyancing solicitors are appointed. How long does it take for Bank of Ireland to send the offer to the conveyancer?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Bank of Ireland done the survey? Have you informed Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Ruislip Gardens concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Ruislip Gardens is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Ruislip Gardens are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ruislip Gardens you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ruislip Gardens may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

What makes a Ruislip Gardens lease defective?
Leasehold conveyancing in Ruislip Gardens is not unique. All leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can result in certain clauses are wrong. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A provision for the recovery of money spent for the benefit of another party. Maintenance charge proportions which don’t add up to the correct percentage
You may have a problem when selling your property if you have a defective lease as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage.
