I was informed recently by my financial adviser that my Aldersbrook property lawyer is not on the mortgage company Solicitor panel. How can I be certain if this is indeed the case?
The best course of action for you to take is to contact your Aldersbrook conveyancer. You lawyer should inform you what has happened. Where they are not on the panel they could put your in touch with solicitors on the conveyancing panel for your mortgage company.
Is there a reason why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Aldersbrook is more expensive?
The conveyancing fees for a leasehold premises in Aldersbrook is frequently higher when contrasted to a freehold transaction. This is due to the supplemental work required in corresponding with the landlord and management company to obtain information concerning whether the rent and service fee have been paid and whether there are any major works due in the near future on repairs or maintenance of the building.
Given that I am about to spend 450k on 3 bedroom house in Aldersbrook I wish to have a conversation with the lawyer about myhome move in advance of appointing the firm. Can this be arranged?

My brother has encouraged me to use his conveyancing solicitors in Aldersbrook. Should I choose my own solicitor?

I am a negotiator for a busy estate agency in Aldersbrook where we have experienced a number of leasehold sales derailed due to short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Aldersbrook conveyancing solicitors. Could you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without getting anywhere. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such issues? Can you recommend a Aldersbrook conveyancing firm to act on my behalf?
Where there is a missing freeholder or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the LVT to arrive at the price payable.

I have been told by various estate agents to expect 6-8 weeks for Aldersbrook conveyancing to complete.This was a month ago. The draft contract was only sent to my conveyancing practitioner yesterday so now does it countdown?
You need to be realistic concerning timescales. Property transactions in Aldersbrook usually takes about two months. This time period is not due to conveyancing practitioner being slow and deliberately delay matters. The amount of money involved in purchasing any residence is so high, the purchaser's property lawyer having to raise a whole range of enquiries, searches and further checks to protect the buyer and their mortgage company (if there is to be a mortgage) from expensive, avoidable problems. Conveyancing in Aldersbrook involves obtaining information from an array of different parties, including other property lawyer, local councils, private companies, building societies and banks. Many of these are well organised. Plenty are not. It is worth noting that, it doesn't matter how quickly your conveyancing practitioner do their part, if the people you are purchasing from or are selling to aren't ready, nothing can move forward until they are up to speed.
