My financial adviser says he needs my Wembley Park law firm’s panel reference for the Nationwide conveyancing panel. What is the best way to find this out. I have tried my local Wembley Park branch but they have not responded to me.
Have you tried speaking to your Wembley Park conveyancer about this?. Most Wembley Park law firms will retain a file or database of lender panel information which would include, if applicable, their conveyancing panel details for each bank.
Can you help? My Wembley Park conveyancer is informing me me that she is duty bound toapply for Wembley Park conveyancing searches asthe firm are on the Virgin Moneyconveyancing panel. Do I not have any say here?
Unfortunately both you and your lawyer have little choice here. Given that you are taking out a loan with a bank your conveyancing practitioner has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook. Your solicitor would have previously signed the Terms and Conditions of your lender’s conveyancing panel appointment which obliges them to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook conditions . Even if you were a cash buyer you would be ill advised not to carry out Wembley Park conveyancing searches.
It is is a decade since I purchased my property in Wembley Park. Conveyancing solicitors have now been appointed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly the deeds may be retained by the lender or they may stored with the solicitor who handled the purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to prove you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Most conveyancing in Wembley Park relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.
My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Wembley Park. I I am struggling to find out if they are accepted on the Bank of Ireland approved list of lawyers. Could you advise?
You should call your conveyancer and enquire whether they are on the lender panel. Alternatively please get in touch with Bank of Ireland who may be able to help.
We are 14 days into a residential purchase having been referred to a firm by the local agent to perform conveyancing in Wembley Park. I am am extremely frustrated with the level of service. Can you you assist me in finding new lawyers?
A solicitor would have to be really poor in order to consider changing them. Has the mortgage been generated? In the event that it has you will need to advise them of the new contact details and have the offer are re-issued. Your new solicitor ideally should be on the lenders approved list to avoid escalating charges and complications. That should be your starting point.

Last August I purchased a leasehold house in Wembley Park. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee 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. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure 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 given up trying to purchase the freehold in Wembley Park. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
Where there is a missing landlord or where there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the LVT to decide the price payable.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Wembley Park premises is Ground Floor Flat 69 Clifton Avenue in March 2012. the Tribunal determined that the premium payable for the new lease was £5,932 This case was in relation to 1 flat. The remaining number of years on the lease was 76.06 years.
