Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Ardleigh Green. What is the rationale as to why all Ardleigh Green conveyancers are not on all lender panels?
Before the recession most lenders demonstrated an attitude to risk which is different from today. The financial regulator in 2010 carried out a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the conveyancers on your panel. As a result, mortgage companies have since looked to extract more information from law firms about their processes and the staff who work for them and set certain criteria such as completing a minimum number of transactions. Thousands of law practices have been removed from lender panels even though they had an exemplary track record, no complaints and zero claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Many firms found it impossible satisfy the minimum amount of transactions the mortgage companies required.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Ardleigh Green I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Ardleigh Green suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a home loan that many years will be an issue. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.

I was advised by a couple of local estate agents in Ardleigh Green to locate a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers over another?
We refuse to give any commission for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
There are only Seventy years unexpired on my flat in Ardleigh Green. I am keen to extend my lease but my landlord is can not be found. What options are available to me?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, 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 extended by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you have made all reasonable attempts to find the lessor. On the whole an enquiry agent should be useful to try and locate and prepare a report to be accepted by the court as proof that the freeholder is indeed missing. It is wise to seek advice from a solicitor in relation to proving the landlord’s absence and the application to the County Court overseeing Ardleigh Green.
