It has taken forever and a day but a loan offer from NatWest for the refinancing of my 2 bedroom flat is expected any day now. Can you put forward a cheap conveyancing solicitor in Whetstone?
You have come to the wrong place to search for a cheap conveyancing in Whetstone. Our aim is to provide value for money conveyancing but we do not advertise as being the cheapest. Resist the temptation to appoint brokers seducing you with £100 conveyancing in Whetstone. At best, in going for cheap conveyancing, you will receive what you pay for and at worst you will end up invoiced for additional fees and still not end up with the service required.
We had instructed conveyancing lawyers locally in Whetstone on the UBS solicitor panel. They have just invoiced me an additional amount for dealing with the UBS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by UBS?
As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your property lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. The charge is not set by UBS but by your Whetstone conveyancing practitioner. Some firms on the UBS panel will charge ’dealing with mortgage’ fee but many firms incorporate it on their overall fee.
I had a mortgage agreed in principle with UBS. Whetstone conveyancing lawyers are chosen. How long does it take for UBS to forward the offer to the conveyancer?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have UBS done the survey? Have you advised UBS as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the UBS conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
I was told two weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Skipton. Is it usual for Skipton to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Whetstone is approved on their conveyancing panel? Skipton have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please supply a car parking plan. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.

I have just started marketing my 2 bed flat in Whetstone. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, however I have recently had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would as all rents and service payments will be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
I am the proprietor of a ground-floor 1950’s flat in Whetstone. In the absence of agreement between myself and the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum due for the purchase of the freehold?
You certainly can. We are happy to put you in touch with a Whetstone conveyancing firm who can help.
An example of a Lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Whetstone residence is Flat 2 2 Netherfield Road in April 2010. The Tribunale held that premium payable for a 90 year extension to the existing Lease should be £7,705. This case was in relation to 1 flat. The remaining number of years on the lease was 76 years.
Being a leasehold owner I am on the hook for a maintenance fee for my first floor flat in Whetstone. Due to losing my job and personal issues I slipped behind with remittance. I negotiated a settlement schedule but there remains a couple of currently outstanding.
I am under pressure to sell and I am panicking this could hold me back if I have to settle the arrears now. I'd like to sell up and then pay them back with the proceeds - is this viable?
You should speak with the conveyancer undertaking your Whetstone conveyancing but one option could be to agree for the debt to be passed to the purchasers. The contractual price they pay would be reduced to reflect the amount of debt they assume. They could then deal with the outstanding monies post completion of the sale.
