It is a dozen years since I bought my property in Acton. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been retained on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Will this cause complications?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be with your lender or they could be in the possession of the solicitor who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Acton involves registered property but in the rare situation where your home is not registered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Having checked my lease I have discovered that there are only 62 years left on my lease in Acton. I need to extend my lease but my landlord is missing. What should I do?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the magistrate. You will be obliged to prove that you have used your best endeavours to find the lessor. For most situations a specialist would be helpful to try and locate and prepare a report which can be used as evidence that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer in relation to devolving into the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court covering Acton.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord for a lease extension without any joy. Can I make an application to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal? Can you recommend a Acton conveyancing firm to assist?
in cases where there is a absentee freeholder or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to determine the sum to be paid.
An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement case for a Acton residence is 4 Woodhurst Road in July 2013. The Tribunals valuation for the premium to be paid in respect of the collective enfranchisement was £51,050. This case affected 2 flats. The unexpired residue of the current lease was 63.75 years.
A couple of weeks ago I was informed by my lender that their approved lawyers work on no move no charge basis for conveyancing in Acton. Our purchase aborted and now the solicitors have invoiced for search fees! They say the fees are seperate!
in offering "no completion no fee" Acton conveyancing firms are foregoing their fees for any work carried out. We should point out that this is not to be regarded as an insurance scheme. Disbursements aren’t covered – where the lawyer have to pay money out to independent parties, for example Acton local search fees
