We are selling our property in Perivale and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was built on contaminated land. Any high street Perivale conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used a web based conveyancing practice as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Perivale. We have lived in Perivale for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get clarification that there is no issue.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor already. What do they say? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same ailment)

It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Perivale took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the property from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.

How does conveyancing in Perivale differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Perivale contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is finished. This is because new home sellers in Perivale typically acquire the real estate, 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 Perivale or who has acted in the same development.

Harry (my fiance) and I may need to let out our Perivale garden flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Perivale conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to seek any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Your lease dictates the relationship between the landlord and you the leaseholder; in particular, it will set out if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain caveats. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. Most leases in Perivale do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the flat. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a duplicate of the sublease.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can I make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Perivale conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?

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