Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Uxbridge

Why would one instruct a Uxbridge conveyancing practice when online conveyancers are more affordable?

He or She will inform you on any developments and keep you informed. If you ever need to contact the firm you will know who to ask for and we'll be sure you're not left wondering what's going on.

I am considering applying for a Virgin Money mortgage for purchase of a new build (under development) in Uxbridge with 65 per cent LTV. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for Virgin Money ?

There is nothing to stop you using your solicitor, but Virgin Money will insist on their interests being represented by a firm on their conveyancing panel. There is greater potential for delays and confusion with an additional lawyer added to the mix, and it will undoubtedly be more expensive too.

Will commercial conveyancing searches reveal planned roadworks that could affect a commercial site in Uxbridge?

Its becoming the norm that commercial conveyancing solicitors in Uxbridge will carry out a SiteSolutions Highways report as it reduces the time that conveyancers expend in looking into accurate data on highways that impact buildings and development assets in Uxbridge. The report provides definitive information on the adoption status of roads, footpaths and verges, as well as the implication of traffic schemes and the rights of way surrounding a commercial development sites in Uxbridge.

For every commercial conveyancing transaction in Uxbridge it is critical to investigate the adoption status of roads surrounding a site. The absence of identifying developments where adoption procedures have not been dealt with adequately may result in delays to Uxbridge commercial conveyancing transactions as well as present a risk to future plans for the site. These searches are not conducted for residential conveyancing in Uxbridge.

five months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Uxbridge concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 asset 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.

About to purchase a new build apartment in Uxbridge. Conveyancing is daunting at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Uxbridge

    The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one close by in Uxbridge I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Uxbridge in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
