It is a dozen years since I purchased my home in Wembley Park. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been appointed on the sale but I am unable to find my title deeds. Is this a major issue?

Don’t worry too much. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be kept by your mortgage company or they could still be with the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Wembley Park relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

My partner and I are close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Wembley Park and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. A high street Wembley Park conveyancer would know this is not the case. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed an online conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Wembley Park. Having lived in Wembley Park for six years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to get in touch with our local Authority to obtain clarification need.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You should enquire of 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 life insurance to cover that same ailment)

How does conveyancing in Wembley Park differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Wembley Park contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because builders in Wembley Park usually buy the land, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Wembley Park or who has acted in the same development.

Helen (my wife) and I may need to sub-let our Wembley Park basement flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Wembley Park conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?

Even though your last Wembley Park conveyancing lawyer is no longer around you can review your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the apartment. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to seek consent from your landlord or some other party before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without prior consent. The consent must not not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If your lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord for their consent.
