My wife and I purchasing a 3 bedroom semi in Southall. Our aim is to carry out an extension to the side at the property.Will the conveyancing process involve investigations to determine if these works were previously refused?

Your conveyancer will check the registered title as conveyancing in Southall can sometimes identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent categories of works or require the permission of another owner. Certain works need local authority planning consent and approval in accordance building regulations. Some areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions. You should check these issues with a surveyor before you commit yourself to a purchase.

We previously appointed conveyancers with offices in Southall on the Yorkshire BS solicitor approved list. They have just invoiced me an additional fee for handling the Yorkshire BS mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Yorkshire BS?

As unfair as it may appear, as long as it’s in their Terms of Engagement or estimate then yes your lawyer may levy a fee for this. The charge is not dictated by Yorkshire BS but by your Southall solicitor. Some firms on the Yorkshire BS panel will levy ’dealing with mortgage’ fee and others do not.

Intending to buy a maisonette in Southall. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nottingham 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 Southall property lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Southall. Before I get started I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Southall - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I am the leaseholder of a ground floor flat in Southall. Given that I can not reach agreement with the freeholder, can the Leasehold valuation Tribunal make a decision on the sum due for the purchase of the freehold?

Most certainly. We are happy to put you in touch with a Southall conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a Southall premises is 33 Barbican Road in January 2013. The Tribunals calculation of the lease extension premium payable was £17,592. This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 55.12 years.

We are in the throes of a leasehold sale of a flat in Southall. Conveyancing is fine but we are being charged an extortionate amount from the freeholder. So far we have paid £275 for a leasehold management information and then a further £200 plus VAT for supplemental queries raised by the purchaser's conveyancer.

Your property lawyer will not have any control over the extent of the fee for this information but the average costs for the information for Southall leasehold premises is £350. For Southall conveyancing transactions it is standard for the owner to pay for these costs. The freeholder or their agents are not duty bound to answer these questions most will agree to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices out of proportion to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no statute that mandates fixed fees for administrative tasks. Nor is there any legal time frame by which they are obliged to issue the information.
