I have instructed a Ruislip Gardens conveyancing practitioner having checked that they are on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?

Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Ruislip Gardens postcode.

-
Clauses dealing with recovering service charges for expenditure on the building or common parts.
A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property primarily because it impacts on the ability to obtain a mortgage on the property.

If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, forcing the buyer to withdraw.
