My wife and I have recently appointed a conveyancing solicitor in Aldwych. I need to find out if they are accepted on the The Royal Bank of Scotland approved list of lawyers. Could you assist?
You should call your lawyer and ask them whether they are on the lender panel. Otherwise you can call The Royal Bank of Scotland who may be able to help.
When it comes to lenders such as Leeds Building Society, do Aldwych conveyancers have to pay a yearly amount to be on the conveyancing panel?
We are unaware of any mortgage company fees to register on their panel, although some do levy an administration fee to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel submission.
How can we tell if a Aldwych conveyancing solicitor on the Bank of Ireland panel is any good?
When it comes to conveyancing in Aldwych obtaining recommendations is a sensible starting point. Before you go ahead, check if they offer a no sale no fee offer. Also, you often get what you pay for - a firm which quotes more, will often provide a better service than one advertising the lowest fees. We would always recommend that you speak with the solicitor conducting your transaction.
I have decided to exercise my right to buy my property in Aldwych off the council. I have a mortgage agreed with TSB. Conveyancing is not something I have any knowledge of. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should use one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with TSB, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the TSB conveyancing panel.
Me and my brother have a semi-detached Georgian property in Aldwych. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Coventry Building Society. I did a free Land Registry search last week and there are two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Aldwych and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the conveyancing.

I am using a search engine for the phrase conveyancing in Aldwych it brings up numerous solicitorsin the vicinity. How do I determine which is the right property lawyer for purchase transaction?

I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Aldwych. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as normal given that all rents and maintenance invoices should be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
