What is your number one tip for choosing a conveyancing solicitor in Wembley Central
It would be unwise to be swayed by the cheapest Wembley Central conveyancing quote. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.

I am the sole beneficiary of my late grandmother’s will with all property in now in my sole name, including the my former home in Wembley Central. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in June. I now wish to sell up. I understand that there is a CML 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship may be treated the same way as if I'd bought the house in June. Do I have to wait 6 months to sell?
The Council of Mortgage Lenders’ handbook obliges solicitors to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you may be impacted by that. How sensible a view lenders take of it, depend on the bank as this requirement is chiefly there to identify the purchase and immediately sell or the quick reselling of properties.
How does conveyancing in Wembley Central differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Wembley Central contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because developers in Wembley Central tend to purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Wembley Central or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently bought a leasehold flat in Wembley Central. Am I liable to pay service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such issues? Can you recommend a Wembley Central conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to decide the amount due.
