Me and my wife are purchasing our first house. The conveyancer has messagedto ask if we want to purchase additional conveyancing searches. We are really unsure what's appropriate for conveyancing in Shepherd's Bush

The scope of Shepherd's Bush conveyancing searches should be dictated primarily on the property, the location, the likelihood of any of these risks, your knowledge of the region and risks, your overall approach to risk. What matters is that you properly understand what information the searches could give you. You may then make a decision if you consider that you need that search.

We previously appointed solicitors based in Shepherd's Bush on the Co-operative solicitor panel. They are now charging me an additional fee for dealing with the Co-operative mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Co-operative?

Provided it is contained in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer may charge a fee for this. The fee is not set by Co-operative but by your Shepherd's Bush solicitor. Some firms on the Co-operative panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms incorporate it on their overall fee.

Having read lots of mortgage guides, I note that it is considered advisable to get your house surveyed prior to buying it. When I asked my local Shepherd's Bush solicitor - who is on the Principality conveyancing panel - on this she said they don't do this and I need to contract an independent surveyor. Is that normal?

Principality will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Principality will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Shepherd's Bush surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Me and my brother own a 4 bedroom Georgian house in Shepherd's Bush. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Skipton Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. Is it worth asking Skipton Building Society to clarify?

You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Shepherd's Bush and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with purchasers. You can also question the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who completed the work.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Shepherd's Bush I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Shepherd's Bush for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?

Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

Expecting to complete next month on a ground floor flat in Shepherd's Bush. Conveyancing lawyers inform me that they report fully on Monday. Are there areas in the report that I should be focusing on?

    specifics of the parties to the lease, for example these could be the lessee, head lessor, freeholder You would want to be sent a copy of the lease Rent payments - what is payable and what the invoice dates are, and be on notice if this is subject to change It needs to be made clear to you whether the lease allows you to alter or improve aspects of the property- you should be made aware as to whether any restrictions relates to all alterations or just structural alteration, and whether permission is required The landlord’s rights to access the property.

I have had difficulty in seeking a lease extension in Shepherd's Bush. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?

Where there is a absentee landlord or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 it is possible to make an application to the LVT to arrive at the sum to be paid.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement matter before the tribunal for a Shepherd's Bush premises is 82 Minford Gardens in February 2009. The Tribunal determined that the enfranchisement price was £37,341 This case was in relation to 2 flats. The unexpired lease term was 72.92 years.
