Can your site be used to find a Conveyancing solicitor in Twickenham even where I’m not purchasing or disposing of a house, for instance if I intend to acquire an office in Twickenham with a mortgage from Barclays Direct?
The service is mainly there to locate domestic conveyancing solicitors in Twickenham but we have recorded towards the end of this page a few Twickenham commercial conveyancing firms. You will need to enquire with the solicitors directly to see if they are also authorised to represent Barclays Direct
We are downsizing from our house in Twickenham and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local lawyer would know this is not the case. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers are using an online conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Twickenham. We have lived in Twickenham for six years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Twickenham. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. What sort of enquires would be asked in new build legal work.
Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Twickenham
-
Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
In my capacity as executor for the will of my uncle I am disposing of a property in Neath but I am based in Twickenham. My lawyer (approximately 300 kilometers awayrequires that I sign a stat dec before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing solicitor in Twickenham to witness and place their company stamp on the document?
Technically speaking you should not need to have the documents witnessed by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or qualified solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are based in Twickenham
Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 68 years left on my lease in Twickenham. I am keen to extend my lease but my freeholder is absent. What options are available to me?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have done all that could be expected to find the lessor. In some cases an enquiry agent would be useful to carry out a search and to produce a report which can be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on devolving into the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Twickenham.
After months of dialogue we simply can't agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Twickenham. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Twickenham conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Twickenham 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 number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 60.45 years.
We are buying a four room maisonettein Twickenham with a home loan from a lender. We have a lawyer in Twickenham but our bank inform us now that he's not on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose from the our lender panel solicitors or keep our Twickenham solicitor and incur the extra legals for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our lender use our Twickenham lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The bank mortgage offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had open panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Twickenham : a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
