My Solicitor in Ardleigh Green has never been on on the Bank of Scotland Approved Panel. Can I still retain my prefered solicitor notwithstanding that they are not on the Bank of Scotland list of approved lawyers?

- Try to convince your Bank of Scotland solicitor to attempt to join the Bank of Scotland panel

How does conveyancing in Ardleigh Green differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ardleigh Green contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Ardleigh Green usually buy the real estate, 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 Ardleigh Green or who has acted in the same development.

I am employed by a reputable estate agent office in Ardleigh Green where we see a number of flat sales put at risk due to short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Ardleigh Green conveyancing solicitors. Could you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible 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 purchaser.
Following years of dialogue we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Ardleigh Green. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
in cases where there is a absentee landlord or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation you can apply to the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal to determine the sum to be paid.
