What is the difference between a licensed conveyancer and conveyancing solicitor in Westbury Park

There are two types of lawyers who can carry out conveyancing in Westbury Park namely CLC regulated conveyancers or solicitors. The two can handle the legal services that you need to complete the sale or purchase of property. They are both required to perform Westbury Park conveyancing on similar quality and guidelines so you can be sure that your conveyancing will be properly administered and that the requirements and steps will be appropriately attended to.

I am selling my house. I had a double glazing fitted in December 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, TSB are being a right pain. The Westbury Park solicitor who is on the TSB conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but TSB are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do TSB have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?

It is probably the case that TSB have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why TSB may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

Planning on purchasing a flat in Westbury Park. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Principality conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.

They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Westbury Park conveyancing practitioner is on the Principality conveyancing panel.

A colleague advised me that if I am purchasing in Westbury Park I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. What does it cover?

A search of this type is occasionally included in the estimate for your Westbury Park conveyancing searches. It is not a small document of about 40 pages, listing and setting out significant information about Westbury Park around the property and the people living there. It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the Westbury Park Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average Property Price, Crime statistics, Local Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful data about Westbury Park.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Westbury Park I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Westbury Park for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 62 years unexpired on my flat in Westbury Park. I now wish to extend my lease but my landlord is absent. What options are available to me?

On the basis that 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 extended by the magistrate. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to locate the lessor. For most situations an enquiry agent should be helpful to conduct investigations and to produce a report which can be used as proof that the landlord is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a property lawyer in relation to investigating the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court covering Westbury Park.
